Junk Mail

Just for a change I thought I'd post my homework here.
The topic was 'Junk Mail' but I changed it to 'Junk Male' I'm pretending that, as I was away, I got the topic wrong (kind of).

JUNK MALE
© Zondrae King (Corrimal) 05/08

They used to come in twos and threes
and make a lot of noise
now when they come, they come alone
more mechanized, these boys.

They’d flip the lid off with one sweep
and fling it on the ground.
They’d use the language once called blue
with kids and dames around.

At Christmas we’d leave out a drink.
Some people left our cash.
And if by chance someone forgot
next week there’d be a crash.
 
I must keep watch and check the day
they come just once a week
if I forget and miss their round
I find I’m up the creek.

Our modern way of living
sure creates a lot of waste
and cities choke in garbage
when it’s not removed with haste.

So lets fill up our glasses
and drink a well earned toast
to the humble rubbish handler,
the Junk Male I like most.

Gee Zondrae most of the junk mail (male) I get these days comes via cyber space.  If all the so and so's that promised me millions of dollars would just cough up and send it to me I wouldn't have to buy Lotto tickets every now and again.

very clever zondrae.  reminds me of going on a school camp on an island our from gladstone, (many years ago)we were up early on the veranda, and the dunny man was doing his duty, trying to act cool to impress us girls.....and of course the enevitable splash as he nearly tripped. ..... much to our amusement!  LOL
