under the serpent mound prudent
demons (NOT monsters) preserve the
nuts and
endosperm meant for
later day
postmen to deliver
when the time is
all too convincingly ripe
London was still full of
fire-bombed vacant lots.
Ruins and rubble
were a kids natural playground,
the deeper the devastation
the better our play.
There was always a chance
to find a broken toy
to abuse.
Back at home,
not once did we consider
what that unidentifiable
gray soot-like substance
on our clothes contained,
but at night
our dreams were troubled
by the eerie whistling
of long dead postmen.
The island is very small
With a small mountain
And a small lake
Some small towns
With small stores
Little houses with tiny balconies
And miniature beaches
Where winter and summer are blended
Exchanging their days and nights
Like the play of waves
You can ramble on it all in half a day
Only the setting sun is big
Like a giant bronze rooster
It doesn't want to leave
Even for a night
This island of only two postmen

I'VE GOT NO POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME
Oh dear what can the matter be
There’s a mail strike and I’m into philately
I’ve had no letters from Monday to Saturday
The postmen are really unfair
They promised last week that they would deliver
Some stamps from Hong Kong and box of chopped liver
But nothing’s arrived, oh how my lips quiver
My mailbox is terribly bare

Postmen are the unsung heroes
Rain or shine they’re here on time
Ten out of ten never zeros
Such respect for postman of mine
In summer shorts till winter’s clime
When at dawn my Postman arose
In snow or rain or warm sunshine
Strong and fit no red runny nose
