The Star-Spangled Garbage Truck

[arukou]

I desperately wish I’d gotten a picture of this, but it was going to fast, so I’ll just tell you guys about it. Today, walking to class, the garbage truck was going through the alleys and I was walking right over the entrance to the next alley so the truck had to stop for me. As I was walking by, checking to make sure they weren’t going to crush me (as you do), I noticed they had given their truck a grill ornament: a large Captain America doll with fists extended like he’s about to punch double punch the universe (as Steve Rogers does.) I burst out laughing so loudly I started a couple of people who were getting into their car down the way.

My brain proceeded to do this:

Whose strong and brave, here to haul all your garbage away?
Who vows to toss bags and cans in the trucks night and day?
Who drives around door-to-door for your rubbish bins,
Carries the boxes of glass, junk, and grubby tins,
From Hoboken to Spokane,
The trash spattered Cap’s work begins!
