The Green Machines in town
by B.F. Kirkham
Riding on through a northern street
Picking up the plastics and paper so neat
four urban cowboys – you’re in for a treat
The Green Machines in town
Bundling paper you would throw away
Boxing the plastics you would let go astray
and turning them into stuff – so the kids can play
The Green Machines in town
Driving down streets as quiet as can be
powered by Veggies or a battery
and refueled by solar while the ops have their tea
The Green Machines in town
The best thing about it ? Its clean Energy
and when using the veg fuel – its mostly free
so its saving the planet (or occasional tree)
The Green Machines in town
So on early mornings – its beating the sun
and its crew are loading it up as one
whether its paper (blue) or glass/plastics (brown)
you’ll recognize the almost familiar sound….
