Why do postal workers have a hard time changing jobs??


They are always thinking "In the box... In the box... In the box!!"...

Undelivered thoughts
Stuck in a postal limbo
Like lost love letters
With the only proof they were,
Random shouts in solitude...

one day
i'm not
going to
take my meds
for weeks instead

i'm going
to buy a
baseball
bat and
one day

when it's
windy i'll
whack off
the heads
of dandelions

floating with the seeds...

Hope Diamond is worth two hundred millions.
Donated to Smithsonian by one worth billions.
This forty-five carat gem was sent to them by regular mail.
They were lucky the 1958 postal service did not fail....

Like a postman, I carry information
Like a sender ,I put together information
Like an envelope, I protect information
Like a postal stamp, the faster the information
Like the receiver , I receive information...

who can take a little round
a postal moment set afire
who can separate and define
the movements in our minds?
who can ease you when you walk
miles around around around
and look again for what is gone
forever
now 
fifty years...

Since emails became king, the postal service is suffering
Maybe that's why the cost of a stamp causes stuttering
Are you serious, last time I looked
A stamp didn't cost an arm and a foot
Now need a freaking bank loan, to myself I'm muttering...

He stood blocking the postal box, and I looked over his shoulder
He yelled, "Stop looking over my shoulder!"  I replied, "I'm sorry".
Again he yelled, "Don't be sorry!"  In dismay, I backed away.

We are the deliverers of the United States mail. 
Even when there is rain, snow, sleet, and hail,
in our daily services, we will not fail.
We deliver letters and packages to where you work and live. 
Nothing but good service is what we have to give.

A book requires a title
As a movie does, or play.
We take the title to a car
When we no longer pay.

A royal has a title
Whether king or prince or queen
And Mr., Ms. or Mrs. mark us
On the postal scene.

Some people feel entitled
To much more than they deserve,
But what we’d call them oftentimes
Stays hidden in reserve....

Mad as a hatter is a phrase that came naturally about
In the eighteen hundreds hatmakers were going insane
Using mercuric nitrate, which removed skin from pelts
A poison that had them acting funny, going postal
Another phrase that came along much later
In deference to postal workers who went insane
From the mundane repetitiveness of their jobs....

My laptop has replaced my television,
my home telephone and stereo system.
It has also replaced my calculator
and my many volumes of encyclopedias.
No longer do I need a dictionary.
The Internet has made obsolete my local library.
I no longer have any need for postal mail.
I now send and receive only emails.
The only service that my laptop hasn't replaced
more or less,
is UPS and Federal Express....

God bless the striking nurses, pilloried by some.'
They and the postal people, are a gift to everyone
The human touch, and prescence near in times
Of victory doubt and fear, the stand in line so fine
A rationale, to employ tells better times we can enjoy
Stand with those who only care' we've seen very devil
Bare' unity now the only way, ! with essential sevices
We need every night and day.....

Do not treat my love like a slender stamp
Left dormant day by day upon the desktop
Quiescent, quiet, I quarrel with my integrity
For I want more than ice-cream and lolly-pop licks
For I have shown responsibility and trust
For I too inquire to be desired
Teasing me with your tongue while tampering with love written memoirs  to 
someone else
You send me away
But one day I'll come back to you when you forget
his address...

Spelling a thing of the past,
Thank-you cards will disappear,
Cursive writing will be lost, 
No more postal mail.

Phone conversations are gone,
All temples of worship close,
Libraries lock their front doors,
No more paper books. 

Good news for Craig Ferguson, 
Entertainer - Late, Late show,
The all new Johnny Carson,
No more Jay Leno.

Sweet Grace married a guy from old Amory
He worked for the government gendarmerie
She was a postal clerk,
He was a total jerk
And they soon lived in Amory's armory.
written July 18, 2021

Sweet grace who's job title is postal clerk
Got married to a man she met at work
Although he's a jerk
She has made it work
At home she's boss, lord help him if he shirks./

Once I was an alien
because of family ties
Once I was a sailor man
Told recruitment lies
Now I am a veteran
with socialized security
A part time postal carrier
With attitude and purity
I subsidize my poverty
By working for myself
In sickness and in health
I am earthbound as an autumn leaf
Blazing colors oh so brief
Twisting madly in the sun
Looking back at what's begun
listing badly misting sadly
hit a reef and come to grief
Closed up again
Just lost a friend...

This Valentine’s, cupid may fail
No flowers or cards in the mail
Our postie called Mike
Joined colleagues on strike 
Their actions are beyond the pale!

Our postal workers started a strike today – I’ve read they are delivering postal flowers but there will be no other post for 3 days. I’m lucky we don’t bother with the day but I know many will be upset. Poetic licence used our postie isn't called Mike!

Happy Valentines day to you all

Words
Alphabets
Soup
I said I love you
You sighed
Not now
My laundry is calling
I had call waiting
Forever
My plan expired
My love retired
I sent you a letter
In a painting
A Monet in time
Collage of flowers
Spring time in Paris
I poured the tears
I drank the wine
I yearned
For what else could one do?
No postal codes or postage due
My longing never ends
My heart is at its end
So I buy this postal card
From far away
I will never return
But will you stay?...

Moist cocoon, most horrid home
What are these paintings for?
To fill, with glee, a shutters frame?
Or anchor awkward eye?
Those thick black strokes, do they pull upon,
All oceans breaking bread?
Or map out planets, which swivel around
A strolling dullards head?

Infra dig, moist cocoon
I’m burning down this dream
Mongo rides in the silent numbers
Reporters shake with mean
Infra dig, moist cocoon
Tearing postal seem
How we start, is how we end
The distal draft, redeem...
