I Could Never Be a Garbage Collector

The one job I could never have is garbage collector
I do not believe anything is garbage.
I would bring home every cereal box, every tin can, every glass bottle.
I would catch some weird disease and die.
If I was a garbage collector.

Think of all the things the children can make at school with all that we think is garbage...

I love this stuff; I could wade around in a dump for days.

Nor could I, Caren, but for quite another reason. I have an aversion to odors!
