Merci Nicolas. C'est un concept "le scan à l'envers"...dépose le!;-)

Ah mince, le scan est à l'envers!  (Oh no! The scan is upside down.)

East of Minnie,

west of Moe;

catch a postman

by the Toe

 

“Mr. Postman,

If it’s okay,

before on this mail route

you sash-ay away…

 

“will you look

inside your tote

to see if there

might be a note

 

“addressed to me

upon a missive?

It’s prob’ly fancy

and likely derivative

 

“of the style of Monet

or possibly Manet

or looking Picasso-ish

from his great hey-day…

 

“For you see

I have many of these ‘friends’

who fancy themselves artists

to the very end…

 

“And they draw on their envelopes

…or paint …or collage

Sometimes they get torn during transit

Quel dommage!!

 

“The point is the envelope

will look rather cute.

Not so much is it ‘high art,’

though there are none can refute

 

“that more will it be welcomed

than junk mail or bills,

and that receiving such mailart

gives us sort of a thrill !

 

“And if you’d like to get some

yourself, Mr. Postman,

why just sign-up at I.U.O.M.A.

just as soon as you can!”
