Neither Snow...

We’re told so many things as children
That we do believe.
When kids learn Santa isn’t real,
They often weep and grieve.

And oh, how disappointing
When young tots unmask the truth –
That fairy’s really mom exchanging
Money for that tooth.

But yesterday, adults as well
Felt shocked and so betrayed,
Discovering our mailmen
Aren’t quite as they’re portrayed.

That famous quote of “Neither snow
Nor rain nor sleet nor hail…”
Is bogus now, because on Monday
Nobody got mail!

I guess we all survived without
Our catalogues and bills;
But what about the faith and trust
That well-known quote instills?

Forget it now – those postmen
Didn’t do their rounds appointed;
And like those kids with Santa Claus,
I feel so disappointed!
