The Garbo ... Leonie Parker ©
Stanley was a garbo and he reckoned life was grouse,
checking out the rubbish bins while driving house to house.
Stanley said you’d not believe the stuff that folk threw out.
Clothes he wore to church on Sunday he’d found strewn about.


He found tennis racquets and a brand new pair of shoes,
wheels to fit his rusty ute, a half drunk case of booze,
garden tools and ornaments, plant cuttings by the score,
board games, books and bicycles and many many more.


Stanley kept all manner of the treasures that he found,
took his bounty home with him and placed it all around.
Stanley really loved his job, could not believe his luck,
thought he’d hit the jackpot with his Council garbage truck.


Stanley’s wife, long suffering, would shake her head and smile,
looking on with fondness while he added to the pile.
When her friends would criticize she’d simply say that Stan
could have done much worse. He could have been the dunny man.
