The post bag services
from town to town
evolved into the penny
post a delightful
innocuous service to
send letters around the
country, later around
the world in great
quantities which led
to that amazing institution
… letterboxes for every house.
Originally intended to
letters, business used
them to deliver bills.
Now businesses go further
with delivery of blazingly
brilliant brochures into
letterboxes sometimes
pushing real mail out
on to the puddles on the
muddy path below.
Much of my mail comes
now through cyberspace
arriving in my computer
where I block unwanted
garish advertising.
Yet still occasional letters
and cards arrive by mail
so I defend them with
my “No Junk Mail” notice.

Same here about junk mail. It was nice to get letters and write to others. But those days are in the past.
