The Dumpster

Dumpsters made of sturdy steel make good homes for the needy.
When they're emptied and scrubbed out they do not look too seedy.
A coat of paint, a roach motel, and you have got a winner.
Park it by a restaurant and each evening you'll get dinner!
There's no need to pamper welfare cases seeking shelter.
There are dumpsters for them all, scattered helter-skelter.
Everybody has to tighten belts in these lean days;
the poor can go in cages like all other curs and strays.
Do not call this heartless, it is only common sense
to give the unproductive motivating recompense.
But do not be surprised if all these welfare projects fail
because the bread we cast upon the water is so stale.
