Ann Gilmour Poet Lay

Red Runny Nose Cl

Postmen are the unsung heroes      		
Rain or shine they’re here on time	
Ten out of ten never zeros			
Such respect for postman of mine		
In summer shorts till winter’s clime		
When at dawn my Postman arose		
In snow or rain or warm sunshine		
Strong and fit no red runny nose

Tom Cunningham January 25, 2020 at 7:41 AM Love it Ann, worked for Royal Mail for forty years, started off when I was 17 delivering telegrams on a B. S. A. bantam. Happy days. Tom. Ann Gilmour January 25, 2020 at 9:58 AM Oh wow that's great Tom. Gosh I remember when we married in 1967 and a young lad on a motor cycle arrived with our telegrams, which I still have; so special in those days to receive telegrams of congratulations. Thanks Tom, so glad you love it! With kindest thoughts Ann xx
