DAY 22-PA PROMPT - ONE OF A KIND - POEM 1. - PAPA'S POSTMAN

Up the stairs
He would spryly come
Mail in hand
Smile on face
Stop! To him, shouted Papa
Let  ME read MY  mail

But he'd tell
Before you could see
What written
There for you
Electric bill or bright post-card
From missing Unk Lou

It was fun
It was very sweet
Comical
Giggle mire
Until the day he brought tears
Unsealed gaping wire

He folded
onto red brick step
head in hands
first to see 
Death's announced delivery 
no one wished to be
