He Wears a Blue Hot Uniform

On a hot spring afternoon, a wet postman Hurries down the sidewalk home. I catch him stepping on a new white iris, And were I not alone, I would but Scold him, but I would not, instead, I wouldst hand him a cold coke for his dripping head, Then pat him on his shoulder and pick up a dropped letter, On this unseasonably hot afternoon.
