The Quark In The Road
On Trump’s war on the U.S. mail
today at 11:21 am
Once rain, nor snow, nor other barriers
Could stop the USPS carriers.
But now an existential threat
Appears more powerful than any met:
The President is its archfoe
And has decided it must go.
I’d miss it like all other gramps
Who’ve through the years collected stamps.
When our nation had begun it
Ben Franklin was the first to run it.
So let us hope that in Ben’s name
Our mail delivery stays the same.

Aquinas wired
I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
