A Post Office Plea!

This poem was written by Jessie our local muse, on the plight of having no Post Office:

A Cry from the Heart
Where has our Post Office gone?
We're bereft without our Post Office -
Essential to many, old folk like me,
The disabled too.
We feel as if we have been left
and forgotten.

We've tried and tried to get a new P.O.
In various ways
But to no avail.
All we can do is post our mail -
Just letters – no packages or parcels
But most important of all -
We can't get our pensions -
Money which is given to us by the Government!

Oh yes, it's there for us. Waiting
If only we could collect it! -
The nearest P.O. is miles away.
Without a ca r- no way! -
Unless a friend kindly gives us a lift
Or get a taxi (and use some of our pension.)
