Ordinary Garbage Bin

In the kitchen is where I sit Waiting for the next deposit When my lid is lifted open I know new deposits beckon When it finally comes to pass Then to myself I say at last They add more and when they do That does not make me blue When I am full they empty me And that makes me very happy Then they replace my insides Bringing a twinkle to my eyes Once again in the kitchen I sit Waiting for the next deposit
