Postcard Show

Thousands upon thousands 
             of postcards 
  lined up in boxes 
People from different lands 
     milling about 
Cards of political figures 
    actors, musicians
A DELTIOLOGIST'S  DREAM
    Money changes hands 
and hard fought deals are made 
   Some scoff at this fine hobby 
But take a chance - come to a card show! 
If you remember the Beach Boys sang - those who don't just have
    to put it down" 
Postcard show
(for those who don't know a deltiologist is someone who studies postcards)
