An Awesome and Active Mailperson

Walking, the mail man once carried a bag Slowly, he now drives a jeep to mail box Brown spots over my mail; a little moist Like coffee stain probably from the gutter Lazy! just sit, won’t get out the vehicle now Months ago, he walked until women came Hissing teeth, “Just suits me fine, he mumbles” Recalled my dog, Ruff, chased him one day Running, the mail scattered all over the street Like ginkgo leaves spinning in autumn’s wind Now I wonder, “What in earth am I to do?” This new mailperson, different yet the same First a lazy mailman until women appeared Rules of the game just immediately changed It’s no longer mailman; it was never mail woman Now just mailperson; wow women have power! Some women are awesome! Roses will be great She ought to smile and bring much more mail She may come to my door; sensational smile Active! I bet she will get out of the vehicle ~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~ © Joseph S.
