A GnestA A POSTAL CARD COMES Shepard of Alabama your postal card came to today today to- to day day day- Fishing conditions are excellent was all that you had to say And you typed that line Una and you signed your name and sent it on to me But it kept me dreaming the morning through when at work Id I'd planned to be It cost yo you scarcely p. p minutes minute's time and only a copper cent But I doubt that you thought as you sent it out just what such a message meant Id I'd Ida a mind all clear for the tasks ahead I was eager my work to Ito do When out of the morning mail there popped that postal card from you Here I have dreamed all the morning long and the thet afternoon grows late And nothing t Ive I've done but think of you and a rod and a line and bait My ears ear have rung with a singing reel and my eyes have strayed afar From my dreary desk to some lovely stream where the willows are arc So the fishing Is fine near old Mobile They're catching them every day That's joyful news to the lucky man who can pack up and get away But Shepard of Alabama I wonder if you dont don't know The heartache caused by your postal card in the fellow who ho cannot canno go |
