Banana peels, ices wrappers and snack bags too,
Lookin unfamiliar to me, do they belong to you?
I’m not exactly blaming; KIDS, what can you do?
Cheers to a new outdoor trash can, shehechiyanu!

Keep us posted which rhyme you pick. I invested many hours into my rhyme so I want to know if it'll be used.

My goal was to stay in good terms. I could technically do that but I’d so much rather not.
I’m totally getting the can!

I’ll engrave your words on the can, and attach a note with surplus’s poem. Deal?

Unfair! My note will land in said can (or on your porch) while crust’s wise words will remain forever!

Oh my! Trying to stay on good terms with a neighbor and here I go hurt your feelings. What a hypocrite I am. Sad

I was also thinking to have the kids clean it up. You can be nice about it. Offer them a lollipop or something. But it will reshape the behavior. (But you would also have to give them lollipops other times so they don’t dump garbage just to get candy, and then you have more wrappers to worry about.)

I just learned to keep quiet about it. Take gloves, a bag, throw everything in and trash it. Doesn't batter if there's a ball mixed in with the banana peels. I can't keep bringing it up and working myself up. Throw it out and move on.

That’s ok. What’s a little garbage in the grand scheme of things? Especially with such a pleasant support group here!

You took the words out of my mouth. I was actually thinking how you can combine Hamans daughter theme to your Poem, but my brain had too much cotton candy or rain clouds or something to be able to think.
