This drawbridge lowered fully,
so, its holdings, I could see.
What lied therein would cause a grin;
but not initially.

The envelopes awaiting
in that box of silver-grey,
I scrutinized--then realized
they all were bills to pay.

When bills comprise what's in the mail,
no joy is likely brought;
their purpose, plain and so mundane;
a welcomed sight, they're not!

But as I looked more carefully,
one envelope, I seized!
And who'da thought, this bill I got
would make me really pleased?

The letter flap, I lifted up;
its contents were expelled.
I scanned, then down. Would that lost town
be on the list I held?

It once had been, so frequently,
at home upon this roll.
So suddenly, it ceased to be;
and left a gaping hole.

My eyes sped through these items
anxiously and yet with care.
It seemed so wrong for it, so long,
to be, not, anywhere!

And then I stopped! My gaze affixed.
My focus was precise.
As, then so clear, it did appear;
and WOW! it looked so nice.
