Post Office Haiku from the 6/7s

Gold on the outside
Mailboxes on the inside
Get your stamps, get them!

When you get your stamps,
You put stamps on the letters.
Letters than get mailed.

The line is so long.
It is very hard to wait.
It is my turn now.

It was lots of fun.
the elevators are big.
They move lots of mail.

Buy a stamp to mail.
Write a letter to your friend.
Receive happily.
