Best Postman Poems


Premium Member The Postman Cometh
My prankster, older son, came home from college, just the other day.
He saw such great possibilities, in how, he, with the Trolls, could play.
Now, you must remember, my son, has always been, a tad bit wild.
But, he truly is a charmer, when he has a...

The Postman

     The postman comes once a day
     Leaving rubbish on the floor
     All piled up by the door.
     Then the dustman comes down the lane

Oh Mr Postman
Oh Mr. Postman, 
Where have you gone?
Oh Mr. Postman, 
Wake up its dawn.
You vanished without a trace, you didn't even leave a trail.
Should I send a message in a bottle or just an "E-Mail"!!!?

Oh Mr. Postman, 
What happened to you?
Oh Mr. Postman, 
You are all...

The Postman
I am going to marry the postman

As soon as his wife runs away.

It might be tomorrow

What bliss and what horror.

But  it certainly won't be today





I think I shall keep my own name

Despite what the postman might say.

For I've got so used to this

My history's...

Waiting For the Postman
Waiting for the Postman

Florrie stands at the garden gate,
How much longer must she wait?
The Postman was due ages ago
What will he bring today for Flo

Junk mail or a pile of bills
Or a letter from her daughter Jill
Maybe a seed catalogue
Or a letter requesting she sponsor...

She Married a Postman
She married
a postman
a good man
who comes
and goes
with good news
and bad
wedding invitations
and funerals
hiring letters
and pink slips
lottery winners
and eviction notices
my dog hates him
barks nonstop when he turns
the corner
and i keep saying
stop it
hate the message sender
not the messenger
this guy
is a good man
that's why she married him
not because he's...

Don'T Bite the Postman
Don't bite the Postman

Please don't bite the Postman,
With those yellowing canine teeth.
He only wants to deliver our mail,
Not feel your sharp nip beneath.

We've known him now, all these years,
So, shower with kisses and smother,
He only wants to deliver the mail,
Please don't bite him Mother....

On a remote Mediterranean village
there along the lovely Italian coast
was a simple young postman
looking for love for in to boast

Mario was his name, got a new job
delivers the mail up so very high
Pablo Neruda, a well known poet
who lived where Mario climbed to the sky

The Vampire Postman
He only worked the night shift
The other shifts he was cut adrift
As soon as the sun went down
You could see him prowling the town

In his post office van he picked up the letters
And on the colder nights for the better
He wore a cloak in a...

Premium Member Wait a Minute Mr Postman - Actually Just Walk On
I want to write about this sad feeling in my chest, but I won't
Before that swamped me, I'd noticed a new spiderweb
But it's a spiderweb that engenders an apology 

Allow your mind to drift back to when I made assumptions about how frequently the post...

Morning Mr. Postman
Do your thing in bringing my mail
You do with care and without fail
Sometimes mail I need to respond
You always follow through
It’s a daily routine to pursue
You are the king of the neighborhood
You offer candy treats to the kids
They see you like a dad
You...

His Ailment
My next-door man was a postman
He stunted gimmicks like Tarzan 
I met a constable
And told him my trouble
He said, “I can’t treat your ailment”.

he worked as a clerk at the old bailey,
but he was gay and loved his boss,
and he did not give her a toss,
cheated on her to carry on gayly!

She knew husband did not love her at all,
