On Friendship
Nathan Wilson 1995 (Montana)
On Friendship
A garbage and a dump truck
Two big machines, strong and buff
Both work hard, both are tough
A dump and a garbage truck
Big shiny dirty mighty machines
That spend the day doing nasty messy things
When it comes to who you hang out with,
These two trucks teach a lesson as clear as glass:
Some dump the dirt, others pick up the trash
