“The Fuller’s Bottle Man” had a depressing job — going door-to-door collecting urine for his Master’s clothes-cleaning business. But at least he wasn’t a Foot Stomper.
That is EXACTLY what my wife would say to me pulling this kind of stunt. Unfortunately, she does not wear glasses, otherwise I probably would have done it a million times by now.

was to dress in the garb of a man.
Girls who go door-to-door
are assumed to sell more
than the wares that they lug in rattan.

Living in a town that doesn’t have a glass recycling pickup service just makes it annoying. I’ll be back in a half-hour.

Though they travel by different means/
Still, Slovaks are as slow as Slovenes..
Both are Slavic and sly/
So the difference (say I)/
Is not worth a hill of beans..///
To my mind, the greatest Slovak/
Was good old Antonin Dvorak/
Whose labors titanic/
Begat music Germanic/
Which to some folks may come as a shock…

Slovakians seem to amass/
Inordinate masses of glass/
Which they promptly re-sell/
To persons who dwell/
In households that smell of grass.///
It’s a hard way to get ahead/
But Slovakians (so it said)/
Agree with one voice/
That- given a choice-/
It’s still better than being dead.
