An Ode to Pet Hair
Winter coats are shedding
A sure sign that summer’s here
Mine is hanging in the closet
But, my pet’s is everywhere
No outfit is complete, they say
Without just a little pet hair
True enough, I might concede
If I were not the worse for wear
I brush, I curse, and brush some more
I vacuum, and sweep, and mop
But, the mounds of fur upon the floor
Relentlessly, never seem to stop
Bags and bushels of silky hair
Wow! I could make a pillow
So plump and downy soft
But, I don’t think I will, though
Mountains of hair, fur, and fleece
I duly collect without a pause
My animal’s debris is another’s treasure
When I donate it to a worthy cause
Donate Hair, Fur, and Fleece
You can donate your piles of hair, fur, and fleece to be used to soak up major oil spills, and help keep storm drains and waterways clean. To learn more about how you can help, please visit Matter of Trust--Clean Wave Program.

AUTHORThank you, Linda Crampton. I learned of the organization about one year ago, although they have been in operation for almost two decades. It is nice to know that those mounds and pounds of hair and fur can be put to good use. Kind regards, ~D
This is a funny poem that I can definitely relate to! Thank you very much for sharing the information at the end. I've never heard of the organization that you mention.
