Postie

He likes to wear short trousers in the summer Although he does not really have the legs They’re not exactly pretty or alluring When they handed out the pins he got the dregs He keeps them both exposed throughout the summer As he rides his bike delivering the post They never catch the sun or change their colour But stay the same, as white as any ghost With legs that are so skinny and so hairy It’s impossible to ever get catch a tan Though soon his legs will be a distant memory His bosses have just given him a van © John W Fenn 20-08-2009
