when the dustmen emptied out the
bins
they started a totally
inappropriate relationship
all over the garden and onto the
pavement
so I warned them that they were
making fools of themselves
mixing up the landfill and the
recyclables
but they told me to mind my own business
I went completely ballistic
said something about stones and glasshouses
threatening to call the council
and the police
which was a bit close to the bone
but that seemed to have the
desired effect
leaving me in floods of tears
shaming them into clearing up
their mess
and then they snogged in the
middle of the road just to rub it in
