The Can Man

Furiously peddling the bicycle The man is dwarfed By the huge clear sack On the bikes' back Now swaying as it goes around the corner Filled with brightly colored cans. On another day he is seen Pushing a grocery cart Filled to the brim With a clatter of tin Clackety clack Down the sidewalk. Then again, he is here With a black plastic bag Slung over a shoulder He is marching, Marching towards the store. Its Dan. Dan the Can Man.
