~AN ODE TO MAILTRUCKS~

[strangeattractor]

once upon a wintry day
i hit a mailtruck in my way
'twas on the date of my first driving test
and ever since they cause a flutter in my chest

i think they've got their revenge upon me
when i wait thirty minutes on my stoop to see
"mr mailman, any letters for--
THREE?!?!?
oh look they're all my roommate chrystie."

so in an unergonomic shape
a mailtruck shall deliver my fate
and if it's not med, forever i shall hate
that for its 3pm arrival i have to wait.

-----------
ps did anyone notice that...if indeed a deluge of letters are going out today, and if they arrive on monday...well monday is april fool's. i thought that was noteworthy.

haha yeah i didn't make it out of the parking lot. i was backing up and i ran into that damn mailtruck...i'm originally a region rat (from the chicagoland region) so it must be the weather! i actually ran into a mailbox then after i got my license...needless to say i didn't have a car for four years of college.
