  • a metal one that’s dented
  • a purple one with a sparkly handle
  • the red one that cracked
  • the thick yellow one I stepped on and hurt my foot at the Jersey Shore
  • one that fits over my head
  • my winter bucket, but just take the fur off
  • a pail
  • ten wheelbarrows
  • one filled with ice and Coronas like in that commercial
  • a couple with holes in them for metaphorical purposes (or to be used as toilets)
  • a green one
  • one signed by Morgan Freeman and/or the Morgan Freeman of buckets
  • one to hold my other buckets
  • one to hold my other lists
  • one for vomit
  • one I finally learn to balance on top of my head
  • two that I use as shoes after I lose my job and become destitute because of a brain injury from balancing a bucket on my head
  • one that matches my suit for when I recover and start a foundation for bucket-based injury
  • a pink one
  • a basket
  • three within which to put all the bones of bucket drummers I murder
  • a blank one
  • a rusty one
  • one I use as a chair
  • several more miscellaneous buckets
  • one auxiliary bucket
  • two back-up buckets
  • one with an ad on it for Bucky’s bucket emporium
  • a really tiny bucket without a handle, the kind that people are always drinking shots out of in bars
  • a dream bucket
  • a trash can
  • a dumpster
  • a secret bucket
  • a blue bucket
  • a bucket filled with attainable happiness
  • one for poop
