Carl The Cosmic Binman

Carl the Cosmic Binman goes shooting through the stars,
He left orbit at 3 this morning to empty the bins on Mars;
They just throw litter on the ground, it's a trip that makes Carl dread,
In fact when he sees the state of the planet, all he sees is red!

Carl the Cosmic Binman doesn't mind the hand he's dealt,
He's on his way to Jupiter after passing the asteroid belt.
They have a problem with gas there that makes a right big smell
But Carl is whistling a Jovial tune so you really couldn't tell!

Carl the Cosmic Binman enjoys so many things,
Like when he visits Saturn and drives along it's rings.
They've installed a 4 lane system that goes all the way around
And kept it so clean and tidy that it makes a binman proud!

Carl the Cosmic Binman hopes the day is over soon,
It's just gone 6 and he's only just got to Uranus and Neptune.
Uranus is a right state, it's somewhere no man should be
So Carl has to stop by Neptune so he can wash off in the sea!

Carl the Cosmic Binman is on the return journey back,
Just has to empty bins on Venus as the rubbish is starting to stack.
They have a problem with the heat there and it makes poor Carl gag
Especially when the rubbish grows limbs and climbs out of the bag!

Carl the Cosmic Binman is nearly done for the day,
Last collection is Pluto, the smallest planet by the way.
They only have one bin on there and it's hardly ever full
Mostly because a lot floats off from low gravitational pull!

Carl the Cosmic Binman has had a lot of fun,
Now it's time to dump the rubbish straight into the Sun!
No, it's not fly tipping or an attempt to rubbish hide
As the nucleus of a star breaks down anything thrown inside!

Carl the Cosmic Binman heads back to his home turf
Though no hero's welcome is awaiting him on Earth.
No, though he jets around the stars cleaning galactic mess
Everyone else has been asleep so wakes up unimpressed.
