The Bright Green Wheelie-Bin
(Much Superior to a Red Wheelbarrow)
The wheelie-bin is pretty in its own way
Thick plastic moulded in ecological green
To be rumbly-dragged on garbage day
To the end of lane to grace our suburban scene
Very little depends upon the wheelie-bin:
Unpleasant household garbage on its rounds
The really useful stuff has been well dug in
The loam – potato peels and coffee grounds
But note ye well - this garden plot thickens
For we have sparrows and crows
but no white chickens
