Found this early tin in an old kitchen cupboard. Top is torn off, but it the rest of it is in great shape. For a patent date of 1899, it is a nice kitchen collectable.

From a group of poems I wrote a long time ago now:
Ode to the Garbage Man
He came banging around at six
you had to have it out there quick
or live with it another day.
Heavy mud clad boots up the boards
between the shacks,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and once in a while,
on Saturday, without notice.
You didn't want to go out there,
say hello, he was all the untouchables,
an odorous wrinkled old man
that never died although it seemed likely.
Down in the dump near the tailings,
fires burned here and there,
the whole city of Rome smouldering
under a mountain of slag.
He had a name and we always figured
he saved his cash and was real rich,
buried those bucks in our Clabber Girl cans.
Nice find....any money in them when ya did? hahahaha
