Tone It Down To ''At Least For the Duration''

Time does our earth presence sever
But the post office is clever  
And offers for sale
For its eternal mail  
A stamp that is good forever


Author's note: The idea that anything associated with this planet will be consumed "forever" is peculiar and laughable.  It is also destructive in that business holds the truth in shadows.

I really should stock up and get a whole BUNCH of those forever stamps. Now if they would just do forever packaging for all those expensive costs I have to pay at Xmas time!! Nice one.
