My Example
Throw-a-way (Form: Jay’s Way)
Aw gee shucks
It was Christmas yesterday;
It’s pretty petty I’d be inclined to say
to object and moan we’ve got too much
dross and dreck and such.
We complain
with disdain
of purposeful waste,
of plastic and cardboard crushed with haste,
but upstream and downstream many people thrive
on waste, as do those who drive
garbage trucks.
