"Unexpected Correspondence"

My day shouldn’t be made
When I bother to take a look
In a particular little nook
Called a mailbox (snail or electronic).

However, when an unexpected surprize
Is waiting, tears of joy form in my eyes.
Just a note that shows someone cares
Is enough to make a rough day a breeze.

Sometimes the postal mule gallops along
Instead of barely walking at a snail’s pace.
So getting an electronic thank you
For a snail letter was really unexpected;
Just like the snail letter was meant to be.
