The Dirty Fellows
One person from each house in our neighbourhood gets up early to keep the garbage out. So the trash is just kept out, without any knowledge of it’s journey henceforth. Cause who cares where your pencil shavings go and how. Who cares where your tea bags vanish once you are done with your tea. But...
