the baby powder solution

you call
the community hot
line
to find out how
to keep
wild animals
out of your trash.
you go on and on
leaving
a long detailed
message
about possum
and squirrels,
deer
and skunks.
all tilting
the lids off your
cans and eating
what you
didn't finish.
finally a woman
breaks
through the line
and says,
baby powder.
sprinkle it all
over your trash
and you're good to go.
plus it will
smell sweet.
