Readers Write: PO-d (Post Office-d)

In the summer the post office is fun

You can mail a letter and get out of the sun

Maybe you can meet a friend
And a package you can send

Without a doubt
The post office is the new place to hang out

The post office should have a happy hour
Have a drink or a whiskey sour

Or pie a la mode
With your zip code

A glass of vodka on the rocks
Drink it at your PO box

Buy a card, send a note
For isolation, the antidote

The post office is a place to come together
All kinds of mail and all kinds of weather

Demonstrate your seniority
By sending mail Priority

You can have a birthday party there
Bring a cake, but beware

If you meet someone you don’t know
Hold them tight, don’t let them go

If they run away from you,
A stamp will say “Postage due”

And if they admire your fender
Then you must “Return to sender”

The moral to the story will never fail:
Go PO- don’t e-mail!
