Not a Dent

When mailing a letter,

A card or a bill,

The upper left envelope

Corner I’ll fill

 

With a label containing

My name and address,

Which I’ve never purchased,

I have to confess.

 

They come in the mail

Sent by charities who

Want donations, so they

Send a present to you -

 

Address labels sent

In a decorative style,

With flowers or cats,

Which I’ll add to my pile.

 

If I live to 100,

I won’t make a dent

In the thousands of labels

That I have been sent.
