a slightly later letter

On Monday I sent off a letter
Addressed to my good friend KT,
But Tuesday I opened my mailbox
And found it there, waiting for me.

"RETURNED FOR ADDRESS," said the red stamp
And, sadly, the red stamp was right,
Her name was there, written quite clearly
But an address was nowhere in sight.

I knew that the mailman was rolling his eyes
When he saw my poor, ill-addressed letter;
The fact a "RETURNED FOR ADDRESS" stamp exists
Has not made me feel that much better.

So I added a line to the "Dumb Things I've Done"
And re-sent the letter today,
Katie, you'll soon get your letter!
It's just on a three-day delay :)
