Analysis of The Trash Man
Just leave it out.
I have no doubt.
Our trash man comes at three.
A penniless task.
Something I'd mask.
Poor trash man comes at three.
A government strike.
For a worthless wage hike.
No trash man comes at three.
Then winds gush in.
And we rush in.
To pick up trash for free.
