A very full postbox
STOP! Feeding me letters,
Can’t you see I’m stuffed,
One more silly postage stamp,
And I think I might combust.
We’ve all heard of ‘hangry’,
But this is something new
I like to call it ‘stangry’,
I’m stuffed and angry too.
Half an hour until collection,
Surely you can wait?
There’s another post box over there
I look a flippin state!
I’m red all in my face,
I’m far beyond bloated,
Just be my saving grace
And find another box for postage.
Yes! Here comes the post man,
I finally feel free,
Though, now I feel quite empty,
I’m famished where’s my tea?
About this poem
My poems that I write are somewhat silly and there is a method to my madness. I simply ask people around me for the first strange scenario that pops in their head and I’ll write a rhyme about it. My family are used to this and I have crazy poems about dogs brushing their teeth, a grieving sock who’s lost his other half in the wash and this poem here. My sister said from coming home from the post office one day “write a rhyme about a post box who is angry because he is over full”. This is where that poem came from it gives us much amusement each time we see a postman emptying a post box. So I thought I would share it here! more »
