Oh! Wheelie bin
tall and green
where!
have you gone

From the pavement outside
a few days ago you were
standing there
beside the other one

I thought you
were tall and strong
even though now
He has painted
a number on!

The daffodils are out now
a massive glow of yellow
bowing their heads
looking for you

Maybe someone
thought!
you were a pram
and pushed it a long

Or you just took
off like roller skates on
the other wheelie bin
is missing you

Maybe we will have to paint
eyes on you!
What! is the world coming too
or get a c.c.tv camera keep it's eyes on you.
comments please has it happened to anyone.

I love the idea that wheelie bins have a secret life, and sometimes roller skate off on their own. I'm sorry yours was nicked though Julie - I hope you get a new one soon xx

new Insertponceyfre thankyou I like the comments coming in.Turning it into a laugh! They stood side by side in little garden Then put on the pavement to be emptied?. We used to get a dustbin lid in a gale go whooshing! down the road. Maybe it's looking for our toad. But gnomes!! go all round the country don't they. julie x x

I too have had my wheelie bin pinched in the night by a neighbour, they put their number on it and passed it off as their own - how rude! Lovely, truthful and funny poem and has cheered me up no end, as I go to do the school run I'll be looking at all the bins along the way and wondering what they'll be getting up to tonight :) Rachel xx

Julie I don't think you need to try at humour, I think you're hilarious :) Well, I did spot a few dodgy looking bins on the school run, huddlied in corners I could almost hear them whispering but if you ask me, it's the recycling boxes that you've gotta keep your eye on! I've had them go missing in the night too, and painting numbers makes no difference I think they think they're in a race! In a world gone mad your poem and your humour has turned today into a pleasure, I must say. My children loved this piece also, Rachel xx

new penandpaperdreams Well thankyou glad the chikdren liked. Get them write a verse.Well they now have dumped a re-cycling box no lid. Not a new wheelie.Maybe their roller skating on the prom;wearing hats with Abctales on. My favourite black cat came up he was looking for the toad? Read "Green Eyes"cat if you get time your children may like, there here for anyone likes a copy,and has copier to do.Mr is the one with a strange!humour (one) I hate spiders so I came in once dark put light on, I used to knit and make toys, there on hearth was a big black ball wool ugh eyes kind shining, oh! my heart eyes he fixed was his x co; badges. Then a special cake made knitting needles and wool in icing.Oh1 you have got me looking round the bend of the wheelie bins. Kermit the frog has been flying round the countries. julie x.

ne Beeme Glad you liked it,need laugh hectic couple weeks.Good and bad.But this was a historical film very interesting,so though try and put it into poem,"Kheldar" kindly helped and Silver-spun-sand too.Dictionary states it weeps when allures and devours it's victims.Not sure true says.Weather is breaking up rough.Mine is resting back gone.And builders now can do toilet and wall, looking good,but before Easter been better after.But pleased being done at last.it was black part. Have a good Easter. julie xx
