Sonnet 7: Garbage Bin Poem

Good people will place me where I serve best And charge me with a most noble duty Regardless of the weather I won’t rest Bearing the task of preserving beauty And though some may sneer and say I’m smelly Greater peace of mind breathes where I am seen Everyone needs me to keep their home clean But if I should not be found standing there In the place I was left, alone and bare, Not many would notice or even care Public places are cleaner when I’m there Offices, beaches, streets, shops and kitchens Everywhere people live I should be found My hope is that people want me around.
