O Dejoy

If USPS has your gift
Delivery will not be swift
It seems the Night Shift
Just got the short shrift
And somewhere your gift went adrift!

Loved this play of words and enjoyed the fun. To make sure that a gift reaches in time,especially in the peak season of New Year and Christmas, send it two month's prior .

Biden just received a Christmas Card from Xi Jinping (via Hong Kong) which read, "Santa isn't the only one watching you" . . . .

Anyone who needs reminding of what Trump's "leadership" is like need only visit their local post office!

It could have been thrown over the embankment. I see where the FedEx (or UPS) man who did this has pleaded guilty. So much for bonding!
