Rural Mailmen In Lament

I'm, Uncle Sans most favorite pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale
I've nothing in the world to do
But glide around with mail;
But one thing almost breaks my heart,
And my nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
l carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and SUCH
And | would like to sell a few,
'Twould please me very much;
But a man can't sell unless you buy
Nomatter how he talks,
So have to keep on diving
After the pennies in the box.
It's all right in the springtime,
Or when summer breeZes blow;
But different proposition
When it's thirty two below.
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen har as rocks,
It's almost anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now quite confidentially,
I'll tell you something more
A rural carrier way out west
Forgot himself and swore;
Says he, 81 can stand the snow drifts,
can stand the fr zen locks,
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box"
When the roll is called up yOnder,'
And we shall gather there,
They wouldn't let a mail man in
Ii they knew he'd learn to swear,
If you want st. Peter to open the gate,
When your rural carrier knocks
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.
