The civilised entries,
of bottled-water empties,
are sobering sights
for the cola-prone.
Not one machine working
once I'm done returning
my bottles for crushing,
Diet Pepsi and Coke.
If she were stronger
she'd mainline no longer,
but she's weak and addicted,
and she's very old.
She's got vouchers profuse
that she forgets to use,
from her bottles for crushing,
Diet Pepsi and Coke.
In the Covid pandemic
she stocked up incessant,
but not one sliced pan
or pack of toilet rolls.
Her husband despaired,
and her children went spare,
but she had bottles for crushing,
Diet Pepsi and Coke.
(To the tune of Molly Malone).
