DUMPSTER FIRE

DUMPSTER FIRE

There once was a dumpster so full
It seemed overflowing with wool
I heard someone shout
It’s a fire to put out
But outside, there’s no lever to pull

When so fiercely it started to burn
It was causing some local concern
If by the end of the day
They could take it away
There’s a lesson one should learn

It was doused by my friend Michael
What kind of fire if asked, could I kill
Fake wool, so inorganic matter
Yet floating bits would scatter
That’s why one must always recycle

Glad that there was nobody in the dumpster, dumpster diving to get their prizes enjoyed reading. Good luck in the contest.
