THE BOTTLE

One day I was a walking ,

An down an dert track ,

Over grown ,

A farmers feild to one side ,

Trees , and bushes ,

'Tother side , backs of,

expensive house's ,

Brick and concrete walls ,

More trees , bushes ,

I came upon a man by him self ,

On his knees , preoccupied , digging ,

I stood behind the man ,

He had not heard me approach ,

I stood behind him fore a spell,

Then I spoke , so startling the man ,

''What you doing mate?'' says I ,

'' Digging'' , say's he ,

'' daft question '' ,

Admits me ,

'' Well it's a bloody hot day '',

'' Me brains boiling , spoke to let off steam '' ,

We grind ,

'' Used to be an old Victorian rubbish dump, ''

The man informed me ,

'' found anything? '' , I asked the man ,

'' Yes '' , he said ,

He pointed to bottles , old tin can's ,

I pick them up , gave them a look ,

'' Worth a few bob'' , he revealed ,

I put them back , when a bottle court my eye ,

'' This looks good ' , says I ,

'' Na'' , he responded with ,

'' Look the top's broken '',

'' Not worth a penny'' ,

The bottle was move or perpole , maybe blue ,

How the sun calt , so amazing to behold ,

I Carest it with my eyes , how the light bounced ,

Of the unusual couler , and shape of the Victorian ,

Bottle ,

Mind , then if I take it , mate?'' ,

''Na , mate , take it , no use to me'' ,

'' Cheers , mate'' ,

'' Good digging'' ,

Saying '' see your , take care '' ,

On I walked , quite happy , with my damaged ,

Victorian purple , move , blue , bottle , that lit up with the sun ,

What is rubbish , trash to most , is booty to other's ,

Or as to me , art and beauty.
