Garbage
In the city, garbage must
Be tossed inside a chute,
Recycled items piled and wrapped
Or boxed or bagged, to boot.
You’re free to daily chuck your trash –
More often if you choose;
The room where garbage goes is cleaned
Each day by building crews.
But in the suburbs, things are done
In quite a different way.
Your trash is taken once a week
And folks think that’s okay.
It’s all what you’re accustomed to –
Each has both pro and con,
But when I take my garbage out,
I like it to be gone!
