when weekend days
are over and the
work-week on its way
that’s when the men
come to your home
to take your trash away
you haul the carts
out to the curb
there’s no reason to horde it;
and follow their
three simple rules-
take your refuse and sort it!
there’s big and brown,
that’s mostly down to
gooey, gunky trash;
there’s mid-sized blue,
plastic, cans too;
it fills up pretty fast
then little green
completes the team
and can get rather smelly
but not so bad
considering that
he holds composted jelly
so next week when
the trash day comes
and leaves your house quite clean
do say a little
thank-you for
your waste-removal team
