mysterious brown mail.....

P.H.Rose

I dare not open, this brown letter before me,
If I leave it closed, it then doesn't own me.
Inside could be good, or very bad news,
But if read, it could leave me, so very amused.
Is it a letter from a another PPI claim ,
or a thousand pounds from a free bingo game.
A letter that's looking, for money I'm owed,
Or a council letter, saying "get your grass mowed".
A ticket for speeding, in my very slow car,
Or a hamper of things, pickled into a jar.
A letter of congrats, as I am now a lotto millionaire,
Or a letter to invite me, to replace my thinning hair.
A letter of an offer, to join my local gym,
Or a letter reminding, to put the right things in my bin.
It could be a letter, filled with a relatives left cash,
But probably a bill, for last weeks reversed car crash.
I think I'll just leave it there, with the rest of its friends,
The twenty or thirty, propping up my table's leg end.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Here in England we get so much junk mail. Sometimes the brown envelopes are good, but mostly they are just junk... Our mailman can drop ten letters through My door but all of them firms trying to get You to join,buy or change something... I sat and wrote this one day when a stack Of junk mail came through my door.... I was waiting for a very important letter...

        Yes brilliant. We get letters almost daily from Saga Travel and despite asking them to stop, and a promise that they would, they still keep coming. We now post them back to them.
