Hit and Run


Reluctantly, there I was
Tidying “our” shared nature strip
Picking up the obnoxious rubbish
And placing it back
In “his” smelly garbage bin
Which had been knocked over
By the “neighbour’s” visitor

The culprit had fled the scene
The “cavalier neighbour” remained inside

Distur‘bin’ly,
This was a messy case
Of “Hit and Run”

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  3. Your experience is annoyng and disgusting, put the rueful post is delightful, Ivor! 💕 We are in a building boom and are surrounded by empty houses. Maybe I should stop wishing someone would buy the houses! 🤣

    But, HA! We have birds who do such a thing here. The large birds like to open the trash bins, poke around, and help themselves. Of course, in doing so…they make a mess on the ground.
    ‘Twas so nice of you to do the tidying up AND write a poem about it. 🙂
    Fab photos! Creative poem! Perfect title! Great song choice!
    (((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
