The University Bursary by George Anderson

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!’
