A brand new rubbish bin
Didn't have anything in

Being used, as it would be a sin

Bob the Alien

There was once an alien called Bob
Who had a very rubbish job
He was a teacher
And also a preacher
And he loved breaking door knobs!

Arbiter of stuff, the rubbish grotto!

Or  rubbish,   or garbage,

Or bull-feathers,   or bilge.

Bach Sing Dei

After Christmas comes Boxing Day
When mum carts the rubbish away
Like one of the boys
Dad plays with our toys
Day is done; what more can I say?

Premium Member A Fan For My Muse

I need to write a happy ditty,
One that's readable and witty
I've been sitting here for ages
Scribbling rubbish on pages and pages
Muse has fainted; what a pity.

Premium Member Recycling Thoughts

My majority years have bolted
and this Mothers Day
Has left me to suppress thoughts,
from our past,
left curbside as rubbish;
That God never intended
to be recyclable;

Premium Member Why Should I Win 1st Place

Rubbish


toss all vagrant words
in the ward of the absurd
lock them all up


there is no race
only  those who have no grace

in the bin of social miscreants

Premium Member Killing Empathy

With that pendulum you shatter,
killing empathy with your mood swings;
Slivers remain scattered    
mixed with understanding, 
a pile of rubbish cracking the opulent floor.

Poems cock pit
Oparating the rubbish pit
Extra life beyond graves, that is it?
Mostly done overcoming tick tock fight
Same life in different living with the thorn skin tight.

Premium Member Last Chance

people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

Tittle Tattle

little minded people with so little in their lives
promulgating rubbish with their cretinous wives
ooo-ing over news of celebs leaving dives
ahhing over gossip from journos with knives

Premium Member Hot Trash

The queen of rubbish raised her man’s ire
By not calling the king of trash, sire
She just refused
His ‘Royal Refuse’
So he raged into a dumpster fire

Capitalism Is Rubbish

Capitalism is rubbish. Socialism is much worse.
Fascism with nationalism are so bad, of course.
I was looking for nice and positive with "ism" .
Went through everything. And found one- Nudism!

Wasteland

What are the roots that clutch,
What branches grow out of this stony rubbish?
Girl of women,
Boy of man,
Or guess,
For you know only a heap of broken images,
Where the sun beats down on this wasteland.

One More 2020 Tragedy

Jan's cucumber* got quite a spin
From a lady who did not like men
It worked like a charm
And caused her no harm
But got dumped in the rubbish bin

Waiting

The relentless tide of humanity,
I have seen turn for and against me
Meaning nothing to me,
Like living in the sea.

The black waves of sin,
Crush me in
The last sight of the seagull,
A rubbish tip for all.

Burden

I dig a compost pit,
to dispose the rubbish
since 1996.

I get the match,
put a kerosene gas.

Voila, they are now ashes,
the whirlwind carries them
away,

hoping they won't drift
and drop on my shoulders 
again.

Publish Rubbish Horn Limerick

Publish Rubbish Horn Limerick

In newspaper many things may publish
And most of them were pure rubbish
Trump kind and considerate have heard
And in his vocabulary is no such word
For him to go away we sure do wish.

Premium Member The Postman

The Postman

     The postman comes once a day
     Leaving rubbish on the floor
     All piled up by the door.
     Then the dustman comes down the lane
     And takes it all away again!
