THE WRONG Wl IN THE V,:"''OX
You think you're Uncle Ssni's most fa
voice! pet, 1st lazy and little.
Nothing in the world to <i<> Imi stop and
leave the mail,
lint one thiug makes us awful mad and
our nervous system shocks.
That you're always leaving somebody's
mail in somebody elses box.
Why do you carry stamps and envelopes
and postal cards and such?
If you would only sell a few, we would
buy them by the bunch.
Hut a man can't buy unless you stop, no
matter how he talks,
We always have to watch you or you'd
pass riglii by •„he box.
It's aright once iu a w hile, for we are
all liable to fail,
Hut a different proposition when we po
to get our mail.
V.'hen all our fingers and our toes are
frozen hard as rocks,
A huutiu^ for that mail that wasn't in
the box.
And now quite confidentially, I'll tel*
you something new,
Our rural carrier is so Jar.y, he dosen't
knon what to do.
We know you can stand tlir snow, also
the frozen locks,
And all "we ask of you is to put the riirbt
mail in the right box.
You're always kicking about the roads,
no matttcr w hat wc do,
W hile other people haul !>ig loads,there
is no one kicks but you.
You want the roads paved with rock,
cement and asphalt too,
Jf ou must think us country folks have
nothing else to do.
i!ut some day a nin'1 inspector will hap-
pen down this way,
And he'll hear about your knoks, he'll
give some other man your job,-while
you're counting out your locks.
Ho if you want to hold your job, please
warm your toe* und locks.
And when you como round with the
mail, put it in the right box.
Yes, when the roll is culled up yander,
and we all shall gather there
St. I'eter welcomes people,and sets them
out a chair.
So if you rural carriers Want in to wann
your locks,
Don't be guilty of putting somebody's
mail in somebody elses hox.
