~THE RETIRING MAILMAN~
The people in our neighborhood
Wanted to give Jim a gift
The mailman was retiring
On this last day, of his shift
Betty made him brownies
All chewy, gooey good
And Suzie gave him liquor
The best gift in the hood
When he brought my mail that day
I said, “Come on in the house”
Told him to come upstairs
And be as quiet as a mouse
I think he like my gift that day
An afternoon delight….
We sat down for a spot of tea
It all just seemed so right
I put a dollar on the table
Right in front of Jim
He asked me what’s the dollar for?
So, I began to tell him~
“What should I give the mailman?”
I asked my husband with a holler
He said “fuck the mailman, honey
Just give him a dollar”…

Just Putting This Out There.
Well, here I'm just saying that this site should put out a guestbook for each poet on here. Like, you've read so many poems you want to say how great they ALL are, not just one, you'll sign their guestbook. You know? Lol, sorry, this is random but I just wanted to put it out there.
