On This Unseasonably July Hot Afternoon

. He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform On this unseasonably July hot afternoon, The wet postman with weary steps, trods down the sidewalk home. An ill-clad lady caught him crushing her lingering white flowers, And though she was annoyed, would not Scold him, but, instead, She wouldst hand him a cold cloth and water for his dripping head, Pat him on his shoulder, pick up a a dirty dropped letter, And then retreat into her air-conditioning. On this unseasonably July hot afternoon.

There are still some kind and caring folks in this troubled world - thank you Sunlite for pointing that out in this wonderful write! I glad the Kein Spucken couplet gave you a smile. Stay safe and cool! Bob H

I could tell you so much about being the postmean as I was one :) A rural carrier, though. I enjoyed your words and also appreciate your kind comments on my Owl poem. Blessings and love
