Postcard Memories

I have worked for a 
     postcard dealer 
  who has since retired from 
the hobby 
   Postcard shows are excellent for the 
nostalgic 
   So is some poetry 
  As a collector 
I have plenty of cards with 
    poems on them 
  They didn't cost much 
       As some rare postcards do 
Having sold articles about the hobby 
   I can walk with my head held high !!
Have not yet written anything 
   like Tolstoy yet 
But I a glad to live in America 
   not Russia 
Where I can go to shul 
    without being hassled - I hope!
As a Tolkien buff 
    well that is another story altogether......
