Poems - Postage Stamp Size

Postage Stamp Size

by jeffbell

"Bin Laden is dead!" I told her,
"Oh Stop believing in fairy tales!"
"He's been bones for years!" she told me.
Later, she emailed me a picture of strawberries in a bowl,
Postage stamp size.
Bin Ladens hideout they say was worth one million dollars,
Built next to an army base who've been searching
For him for years?
She then sent me a picture of a sea food platter,
Postage stamp size.
America dumped Bin Ladens body into the sea,
And not one photograph as proof?
She also sent me a picture of four crepes on a white plate,
Filled with ham and cream,
Postage stamp size.
I asked her for a specific photograph,
But she told me it was a waste of time
As for some reason the pictures
From her phone were coming out too small?

What's the world coming to?
Well all I know is,
There was never this lack of detail,
In the good old days of Kodak.

Regardless of the "wherewithal" of producing a photo, this piece is very appropriate on two fronts, well done. David

at least you know what to gift her for her birthday, a good camera or a new phone.

Eastman Kodak, to be exact.
Like my Dad said years ago...
Hell in a handbasket.

Really good poem, enjoyed it a lot.
Cheers, Mary Ann
