Inspired By Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be Contest

I'VE GOT NO POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME


Oh dear what can the matter be
There’s a mail strike and I’m into philately
I’ve had no letters from Monday to Saturday
The postmen are really unfair

They promised last week that they would deliver
Some stamps from Hong Kong and box of chopped liver
But nothing’s arrived, oh how my lips quiver
My mailbox is terribly bare

Inspired by contest

**** Total Fiction write ****

Kim Rodrigues Date: 2/4/2018 6:48:00 AM A range of thoughts going through this! “Philately!” Love it! I used to collect stamps as a kid! My great-great Aunt sent me stamps feom the Vatican.

Tom Cunningham Date: 2/3/2018 1:36:00 PM Well this embarrassing Jan, as I was with Royal Mail for forty years.haha. I dont hold out much hope for the liver though. Regards Tom. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/3/2018 3:57:00 PM You'll be relieved to learn its a fiction write Tom - I got this silly idea about deliver and chopped liver and built the poem around there. I've told you I have no control over what my muse will come out with net!:-) hugs jan xx

Lin Lane Date: 2/3/2018 1:33:00 PM lol Jan...I hope that chopped liver is not going to be delivered to you if it's spoiled. Very cute rhyming verses. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/3/2018 3:55:00 PM Pure fiction Lin - I used to collect stamps as a child but that hobby stopped many years ago I just got a silly idea about deliver and chopped liver and the poem grew from there lol:-) hugs jan xx
