SUCH A WASTE!

 

They said the postal service, was the safest and best

And I put pen to paper, their words to put to test,

And waited at end of tether, and confirmed it did depart,

But such a waste of a letter, for it failed to reach his heart!

 

 

They said the e-mail service, was the right thing to do

And I typed out a letter - that they were right to prove,

And though of the service I did avail, and make the correct start,

But such a waste of an e-mail, for it failed to reach his heart!

 

 

They said the faxing machine, was science's special gift

And I did fax a letter, my spirits to uplift

And thought that I could now relax - surely things could'nt fall apart?

But such a waste of a lovely fax, for it failed to reach his heart!

 

 

They said the telephone service, took minutes to convey,

And I dialled out the number, and sure there was no delay,

And though concisely conveyed all, in precision lay my art

But such a waste of a phone call, for it failed to reach his heart!
