SEND A PRIVATE COMMENT
ADD TO MY FAVORITES
It causes me distress
Because it says resident
And uses my address.
Pennies are included
In some of this junk mail
Usually to entice someone
To a very special sale.
Sometimes a spooky envelope
Holds a credit card.
I shred it very quickly;
It’s something to discard.
Some days I get a letter
Of great notification.
I’m as lucky as can be;
I’ve won a wild vacation!
Politicians send their ads
In hopes of getting votes.
It’s propaganda to the hilt
As fanfare it promotes.
The Publishing House sends mail
For a contest they entreat.
Just send in magazine forms,
And you’ll win a special treat.
The pizza ads are plenty.
They make my big mouth drool.
Their pictures look delectable,
And the price is really cool.
I often get junk mail
From Satan’s house of games.
It’s a real wild casino
“Risk fortune,” it proclaims.
But I always save the mail
From churches new in need
As they spread the Christian gospel
With very little seed.
I pray for all these churches
That they will grow in spirit,
And the good news of salvation
Will spread so all will hear it.
And if perchance I get a tract
In my mail any day,
I thank the folks for sending it.
God speed them on their way!
Though junk mail is a big pain,
Look deeply you might find
A godly tract or pamphlet
Of the most important kind.
