Christmas Countdown Poem 2023: 19. Ode to the Postie


Walking with a Christmas sack,
Full of this and that,
To be delivered here and there,
With thought and care.
***
The unsung heroes of Christmas,
Making sure things arrive,
Where and when they should,
When the address is good.
***
Where Santa does one night,
The postie does many days,
From the store one day,
To your gate the next.
***
Not just Christmas presents,
They carry your Cards,
Birthday, Christmas and other holidays,
What more could you want.
***
So rase a glass to the posties,
And thank yours when you can,
For the hard work they do,
To get things to you.
