Snail Mail Registration

The bulletin for courses
Shows up twice a year online
With a registration coupon.
(I just finished printing mine.)

These are classes meant for teachers
(Just retired ones attend)
Which provide the opportunity
To learn or make a friend.

Certain listings each semester
Are most highly in demand
So not every registration
Will pan out as people planned.

Dilly-dallying’s a no-no
For the more relaxed who wait
To submit their course selection
May discover they’re too late.

Which is why I choose my classes,
Fill the form and write the check,
Stamp the envelope and hustle
To the post office like heck!
