Trash just never,
Goes away.
Have to deal with it,
Every day.
Sometimes a little,
Sometimes a lot.
Sometimes smelly,
Sometimes not.
Empty eggshells,
In their carton.
I forgot to empty it,
I beg your pardon.
Bought those bags,
Scented smell.
Trash still stinks,
I can tell.
Coffee grinds,
Old leftovers.
Lift the bag,
Over my shoulder.
Out the door,
Into the cold.
Wash out the barrel,
Or else, there’s mold.
The barrel’s full,
Take it to the dump.
Don’t look at me that way!
Don’t be a grump!
Share the work,
Every day,
Keep the place clean,
It’s the only way.
Think of the future,
Recycle tin, paper.
Glass and plastic,
Think of Mother Nature.
