Returned to Sender
Sent my friend a birthday card;
So it would not be late,
I mailed it more than one whole week
Before her special date.
Her birthday came and went and yet
She never got my card.
It had the right address and stamp,
So what could be so hard?
Today that card came back to me,
“Return to Sender” stamped.
I think the local P.O.
Really needs to be revamped.
I’ll see that friend a week from now
And hand her what I sent.
The envelope is proof, though,
Of my early-bird intent.
