Array ( [sid] => 177440 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Postie the Mailman [time] => 2013-12-26 09:46:34 [hometext] => Losing money, Canada is eliminating home mail delivery. Parody on Frosty came to mind. [bodytext] => Postie the Mailman
Was a unionized happy soul
With good walking shoes
And no time to loose
Along the route did stroll.

Postie the Mailman
Had it pretty good you see
With steady work
And a benefit perk
Better than most of you or me

There's something now archaic
For a large deficit they found
For when they had summed it up
The Postie was outward-bound

Postie the Mailman
Was needed once you see
And the union says
Still in need today
By folks like you and me

Postie the Mailman
Knows not much in the bag today
For profuse Internet use
Did introduce
A simply better way.

Postie the Mailman
Will soon now go on 'his' way
As he waves 'Bye Bye'
I suspect he'll cry
"You'll will surely rue this day".

Grumpitty, grump, grump
Grumpitty, grump, grump
Mail boxes in a row
Grumpitty, grump, grump
Grumpitty, grump, grump
Through rain and sleet and snow

This sad news for you all. I live in South Africa and we still got mail men here. I remember as a kid how I use to wait for the mailman almost every day for a letter from some Pennell. I had several around the country we never had email then and the excitement and anticipation of receiving a letter was so wonderful. I'm truly sorry to hear your mail men are going out of service. Grate write it brought back so many beautiful and wonderful memories.

Greetings
Rus
