I wrote a letter
and went to the post
the fella didn’t take it
said it was blank to the core
I asked for a pen
and looked for a spot
but couldn’t manage anything
more than a blot
took it back to the post
and he laughed at the dot
so long you took
and that’s all you got?
I told him it was the moon
in a pale white sky
no words could express that
why did he laugh, why?
he took the letter in a jiffy
sealed it with a kiss
‘express delivery’
he signed underneath
