Such A Waste!

They said the postal service

Was the safest and the 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 email service

Was the right thing to do

And I put pen to paper,

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 email

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 couldn't 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 dialed 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!
