Hello, Here comes the Postman
with something good. I guess.
He hands me out a letter
That's marked with my address,
Ny name as sure as shooting
In letters large and wide;
A hand I don't remember.
I wonder what's inside.
Perhaps an invitation
To be the honored guest
At some small swell reception
At some old friends request:
Perhaps a check in payment
OF some forgotten debt,
Or maybe It's to settle
An old election bet.
It might be-there's no telling
a pert, insistent DUN
Sent by a grouchy tradesmdn.

tt may be from a schoolmate
Invi ing me to see
His wonderful new baby
That's being named for me.
II may be from the preacher.
A note serene ard wise;
It may be from a lady
Who's sulitten with my eyes:
II may be from Mccarthy;
II may be from the COOK.
But this suspense is killing.
