Theatre tickets for the postman

The zookeepers were delighted to be invited round for dinner.

You were surprised they didn’t all socialise together more.

They were barely recognisable without their uniforms.

You told them you just loved the animals so much.

‘We should do this more often’ you said to your GP

saying goodbye at the airport.

‘It’s the least I could do’ you wrote in your reply to her thank-you letter.

‘You’ve been such a big help to the family

and I couldn’t believe you’ve never been skiing.

The people on the market stalls will miss you

Now you’re retiring to Cork. If nothing else it was impressive

You remembered who did and didn’t take milk.
