A wonderful thing is a postage stamp
when you come to reason and think
of the joy and tears it carries around
with all its paper and ink
It has smashed a nation before today
and shattered the throne of a king
It has carried a lock of maiden's hair
and brought her a wedding ring
It has found the black sheep far away
that strayed from the narrow track
and broke his dear old mother's heart
but the stamp has brought him back
It has linked up commerce around the earth
and across the seven seas
T'will bring the nations together yet
and settle the world at ease
oh, nice, i like it!

ReplyDeleteI still need your mailing address. When I try to reply to one of your comments from my blog it goes to 'noreply' so i'm sure you're not getting it.
Great poem. Here in Canada we are in the middle of a country wide postal strike. There has been much talk that ordinary mail is antiquated. On the other hand the government feels compelled to force an end to the strike as it considers the post office an "essential service". I guess old fashioned letters are not dead just yet.
