Mailmen

The mailman in the city

Walks the streets with all his mail

And in each apartment lobby

He leaves letters, without fail.


When the buildings tower skyward,

He walks less to do his route,

For with endless boxes waiting

He needs hours to work it out.


In the suburbs or the country,

Mailmen drive from door to door, 

Dropping  bills and correspondence 

And occasionally more.


But no matter their surroundings,

City streets or grassy grounds,

Neither rain nor sleet prevents them 

From completing all their rounds.
