Somewhere there's a bagboy
stacking up some cans,
he calls himself the helper;
the helper of assembled cans.
One can in one can
can confound one one mind
One can plus one can
is enough cans to kill a no
One can, then one can
can be canned blissed for paupers.
Out of many cans there's one who can
see the ones within each line
and see the cans all the time.

Fun poem, adolescent...and I really like the title...caught my attention.
The first stanza is engaging in it's simplicity. Very well done.
I can cancan, can you?
I'm sure "the helper of assembled cans" can.

I would post the artist's name but I can't read it so I'm not sure.
It isn't Toulouse Lautrec.

Interesting punnery, adolescent. The can man shares all of the tricks of his trade. Enjoyed your witty verse.

I'm so glad I got a chance to read this!
Musical, lyrical in its way, this one shows (i.e. not "tells") how to cope with the miserable repetitiveness of a McJob. Philosophically, it shares its theme with Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus," I kid you not.
