Green Bin Day by will riding published on 2023-01-23T19:30:05Z A song about being bleeding cold and looking forward to the spring, the dual blessing and curse of smart meters and not being able to get rid of my garden waste.... Not to be confused with Green Day or Blue Mun Day Whamageddon And the year end excess Are thankfully now left behind A pale sun refuses to donate any warmth To a world that's both cold and unkind. The decs are back up in the attic Geese are still high on the wing I'm waiting for green bin day And the welcome return of the Spring My smart meter grins as it climbs into the red It's giving me a psychotic twitch "We've spent twelve pound fifty already today Please, step away from the switch" There's a pile of rotting logs in the garden Upon which a Robin does sing A song about green bin day And the welcome return of the Spring It seems a long time since I pruned my bush Like Mary said to the parson And it's almost too expensive to keep myself warm Without resorting to arson Those nocturnal cramps and the chill in my bones Reflect in my face's contortions I'm counting my blessings as well as my ailments To give myself a sense of proportion So when the crocus pops out of the lawn I'll make a feast that's fit for a king And raise a glass to green bin day And the welcome return of the spring copyright 2023 Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Claudia Mortimer MoonshineClaude Singer Songwriter love the arson line 😂 2024-03-20T13:49:45Z
