The Bin

Its quite interesting being a bin,
And seeing what people throw away.
Honestly you should see the wastage,
That some people chuck each day.

There's something my Dad always said,
About the scraps I didn't eat.
Are you going to leave all that?
That would last a Cambodian a week!

Oh honestly Dad its only scraps,
No-one would eat it anyway.
So just don't lecture me anymore,
On how things in the world are today.

But the bin it does no harm,
It doesn't moan, maim or kill.
So maybe that tells us something,
On the other hand maybe it doesn't.
