After decades of squabbling amongst
government & local
& commercial environmental authorities
empty cans & bottles in my state now
retrospectively command 10 cents each.
I take my grand daughter to the garage
& use the remote to open it:
revealing countless thousands
of neatly bagged cans & bottles.
I say to her with a huge grin:
‘This should fund your university education!’
