The Great Garbage Strike Tornado ~ Triolet









I’ll never forget the great garbage tornado

that trashed Manhattan in nineteen eighty three.

It began uncollecting from rot piles in SoHo,

We'll not soon forget the great garbage tornado,

Omnivorous Eddy, the landfill dynamo.

When the city was hostage, the mayor held the key,

never to forget the great garbage tornado,

oh, stinky Manhattan, nineteen eighty three!
