The Letterbox
A pensioner's long walk today,
Yes, the mailman's been, no yah!
What bills did arrive this way?
Postman, postman, stay away,
I am putting up a sign,
"BAN THE BILLS!" about frigging time!
if all bill payers went on strike,
Bills would go down, not upwards hike!
Yes, it's that dreaded long walk again,
Should I throw the bills down the drain?
A gutter too far, or in the bin?
Bringing us bills is the postman's great sin,
Can't afford that, can't afford that,
"I'll shoot you, postman, now don't come back!'
is shooting postmen a capital offence?
"BAN THE BILLS!" on everyone's fence!
