I sent your friends over at Urinal.net a copy of my urinal Haiku.

How do you like my signature? <g>

I received a reply from them.
Here it is:

Dear Mr. Standin --

Thank you for your message. Your Haiku is quite original and
entertaining. Here at Urinal Dot Net, some of us get so focused on
bringing the latest urinal content to our users, that we lose track of
the big picture. Thank you for injecting a bit of beauty into our day.

Yours,

I got a kick out of his signature.

I wonder if they will post it on his site...

I'm off now to write a few poems about my trash cans and leave them for my garbageman.
Perhaps he'd like that better than a Christmas tip, this year... <g>

...and the tittle "Ode to a Mailbox" is on my "To Do" list...

I should be able to save a bundle in money this holiday season by writing stuff rather than leaving a tip.

<Fast forward to December 26th.>

<Clappy goes out to get his mail but finds his mail box bashed in and garbage thrown all over his front lawn. Taped to the badly beaten garbage can is a Thank You card saying "Merry Christmas to you too", with a picture of a hand holding up the middle finger with a pretty red bow tied to it... Signed your Postman and Garbageman...>
