Once upon a time there was a bored dumpster who had few friends. He faked cheerful smiles at passing motorists but only lured the undesired. He was alone besides a weekly visit by one whom stopped only to pick his brain and empty his thoughts. The local gardener seldom communicated more than a lashing wack […]
