Dear MR. Mail man

Dear MR Mail man,
Your work I do adore.
Riding around the town ship,
It’s a great way to explore.
You seek out peoples letter boxes,
To give them their daily mail.
Sometimes good news,
Sometimes bad news, bills and stuff for sale.
You slip the letters in,
With barely having to stop.
Though you sometimes get so close,
And give us quite a shock.
You ride around all day long,
And it gets quite hot in the sun.
I could bet you almost anything that,
That would not be much fun.
We are quite pleased with your job,
Me and every one.
So please dear MR. Mail man,
Carry on…
