Post Haste

‘If I'm reincarnated,
I'd like to be a snail’.
So spake the postman, as
He handed me my mail.

With a snail as a postman
The service might be better
And I don't think I'd mind
The odd slimy letter.

Snail Mail

A poem about a postman which is good to recite, but you might have to explain to the audience that 'spake' is an old form of 'spoke' and that you've not made a mispake (sic).
