A Sonnet about going to the PO Box and getting a dozen Xmas cards in one day

 I head to Castro Valley in my car

And risk the random stranger's sneeze and cough

To fetch the cards from friends both near and far,

(Though 2020 means they're all far off).

 

One has a snowy field with dogs and sheep,

Another, poppies o'er an open flame;

One's glitter-packed, and now I have to sweep --

And one pops up to make a pinball game!

 

Although I love the cards with classic art

Like Renaissance Madonna (thanks, Maureen) --

The family photos really touch the heart

And best with pups and kittens in the scene.

 

Now back at home with cards tacked to the wall

A Merry Yule and New Year to you all!
