The disconnect of the face and the blue bird is very funny, Shay. Thanks. k.

I was just thinking the other day that if I used some of my junk mail for kindling this winter, that would give them a more honorable purpose than they previously had filling my mail box and paper recycling trash can.Rommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11810721515248103148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-80141639507344014632015-11-15T13:27:46.585-05:002015-11-15T13:27:46.585-05:00two mail deliveries, my goodness! I remember when ...two mail deliveries, my goodness! I remember when a stamp cost two cents and was mailed in Vancouver and delivered in Kelowna THE NEXT DAY. And now, a stamp is a dollar and it takes for freaking ever to get anywhere. I enjoyed this poem hugely.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-45612325291631954152015-11-15T11:23:32.153-05:002015-11-15T11:23:32.153-05:00This cracked me up.

I bet you are thankful those double daily deliveries are history( as this painting is--I don't think anyone writes real letters anymore, do they?) Love the rhymes, and your tags as well, though there's nothing yard sale about this except the sadness of the junk involved in the postal roulette you detail so excruciatingly.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-641423308040665582015-11-15T11:20:17.657-05:002015-11-15T11:20:17.657-05:00You had me with the first line.
