Within a wooden box ~ A frantic reach and grab. She smiles from the sidewalk  ~   In her trembling grasp ~ A note for her friend ~ Is held up high. She shouts "You've got mail!" For a ten cent postage stamp ~ A letter from her man. Courtesy of the U.S. Mail Love delivered ~ Hand -to-hand. She shouts... "You've got mail!" Courtesy of the U.S. Mail An ageless cry of lore. Covered wagon on the trail ~ Or by Pony Express. A train steaming down the rail ~ Towards the Wild West. Or delivered  through the air. Love from shore to shore. She shouts... "You've got mail!" Courtesy of the U.S. Mail ~ An ageless cry of lore. From the desert to the shore... To the mountain range. The U.S. Mail ~ Always ahead of modern change... Moving all the time. Love delivered for a dime. Delivered across the board. Despite recession or progress. Despite two great ****** wars. Despite overnight express. Despite UPS and FedEx Despite the pace of technology. Despite the speed of modern life. "You've got Mail" For two hundred years ~ Short and Sweet An ageless cry of lore. Reminds me of that old and ancient ~ Computer generated cry ~ Announcing the instantaneous reciept ~ Of your electronic-mail.... "You've got Mail"

Irony of U.S. Mail
Within a wooden box ~ A frantic reach and grab. She smiles from the sidewalk  ~   In her trembling grasp ~ A note for her friend ~ Is held up high. She shouts "You've got mail!" For a ten cent postage stamp ~ A letter from her man. Courtesy of the U.S. Mail Love delivered ~ Hand -to-hand. She shouts... "You've got mail!" Courtesy of the U.S. Mail An ageless cry of lore. Covered wagon on the trail ~ Or by Pony Express. A train steaming down the rail ~ Towards the Wild West. Or delivered  through the air. Love from shore to shore. She shouts... "You've got mail!" Courtesy of the U.S. Mail ~ An ageless cry of lore. From the desert to the shore... To the mountain range. The U.S. Mail ~ Always ahead of modern change... Moving all the time. Love delivered for a dime. Delivered across the board. Despite recession or progress. Despite two great ****** wars. Despite overnight express. Despite UPS and FedEx Despite the pace of technology. Despite the speed of modern life. "You've got Mail" For two hundred years ~ Short and Sweet An ageless cry of lore. Reminds me of that old and ancient ~ Computer generated cry ~ Announcing the instantaneous reciept ~ Of your electronic-mail.... "You've got Mail"
