Walking the dog as usual -
trash can day in the neighborhood
glimpsed a proud container
with the name BRUTE.
Philosophized over the name -
everything is now mega
or giga or monster in the US
not nano, minute, BRUTE.
Do the namers of this can
knows where it comes from
murder, treason, hate, con, hon,
glorifying the raw Brutal power.
What an ungentle way to start
a trash can day's walk with the dog.
Instead of naming it BRUTE
how about MOTHER?

Assuming Brute's the men's cologne,
"Mother" might not set the tone
Desired by sniffer or sniffee,
Who probably share a fantasy
Straight from a Harlequin romance,
To whom I can but say, "Bon Chance"
Since middle-aged suburbanites
Unlikely seem for such delights!
Aeiee!
Brute is a trash can
proud and strong
sometimes people
can go wrong
I thought I described
what I so saw
alas, I should
have said it - raw.
A trash can brand, then,
Not what's in it--
Hold on then,
Just wait a minute!
It's even worse now
Than the other--
Who'd ever call
A trash can "Mother"????
(Oscar the Grouch, maybe?)
