Compostable

Eggshells, yoghourt, poultry, bones,

brussels sprouts with daughter's groans,

breakfast scraps - organics only,

peelings, gristle, slice of pony,

blancmange, tapioca, scorched cake,

curled-up sandwiches from a wake,

dead-heads, clippings, twigs, leaves,

couscous, penne, spuds and cheese,

brown bin swallows with a belch,

regurgitates all as garden mulch.
