Violence plagues you, stamp. I rip you off the booklet And slap you on. Bye! Thirty seven cents!!! Back in my day, much cheaper Greedy postal scum! Another increase In your already high price Are you made of gold? Fucking federal job Get paid to stick mail in holes. Why can’t I get one? Place you upside down And he’ll know much I care. You’re a love symbol. Little tiny square Sometimes you bear dead people Lest we forget them. You have a fan club – Nerds in polyester pants. Sorry 'bout your luck. You cost too damn much Someday you’ll go up again And we will revolt. ---
