A Second Class Letter Sent To the New York Time

I only need stamps this time. “What did you do last night?”, “We have planned on going away this weekend and if you're not? I got to know”. “How much do you want”. I say, six stamps - sixteen pounds!!!. If we are going away- I?don’t need any more beer. There’s twenty pounds?in my pocket. I lie- I did extra work this week, I’ll pay you back. Promise…- You know I will. It made me feel good. More alcohol, six stamps. A letter, with few poems " It's over two thousand pounds now you owe me” and “its added on”. I was certain that I would be rejected.
