Unread correspondence lies in despondence Gathering dust on the shelves Journal subscriptions of countless descriptions Piled on top of themselves Confirmations of blood donations That never will be attended Leaflets unnumbered, the walls are encumbered Far more than was ever intended Postcards from the tropics discussing dull topics Like “them ****** foreigners” and rain Parcels were ordered, were barely afforded Never to be mentioned again You’ve got something yourself, squeezing onto a shelf That’s as packed as the Vatican’s coffers But it’s weeks out of date and you’re several days late To respond to the business it offers
