Thank You, Mr. Garbage Man!

Thank you,
Mr. Garbage Man!
Thank you for taking
My garbage away!
Twice a week!

Just think…

If I had
To keep
All my garbage here,
Where I live,
I’d be dead!

Decay and mold
And putridity
Would cover
My yard, my home,
My … me.

Thank you,
Mr. Garbage Man,
For taking away
The bits of me
That need to be
Buried...

Erin,

Quite interesting. I've never heard a tribute to the garbage man before but I know there's a method behind the madness. Easter is a great time of year to get rid of the garbage. well done.

Good thoughts, Erin. It's an eye-opener to go to where they collect the garbage from everyone. We have got to learn to do something productive with the incredible amounts of the stuff before it overwhelms us all.
Love and {{{{{hugs}}}}},
Leland
