Aluminum Cans

 

 

Let us gather together

and gather our cans

Everywhere that we look

their range ever expands

Ruining the scenery

they ought to be banned

Our landscape a landfill

damned aluminum cans.

dk, cast-off cans
Do offer the homeless
Collectable money
So they are not moneyless

You see their bike baskets
All filled up, all canned
Environmental sweepers
All cleaning our land

Now what would we do
Without our hobos?
Cleaning the landscape
De-canning it so? ?
