Once I had a bin bag
It was black as black could be
I loved that old black bin bag
I took it everywhere with me

I took it right around the house
and emptied every bin
in every room, even the lounge
and the bin bag put it in

I tied the top up in a knot
with tender loving care
I went outside, opened the dustbin
and placed my bin bag there

Bright and early the next morning
I believe it was a Wednesday
the whistling, cheery bin men
took my black bin bag away

I often wonder where it went
probably to the tip
and every time I think of rubbish
I always think of it.
