Rage, Rage against the dying of the PO...

With Apologies to Dylan Thomas:

Do not go gentle into that good fight,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the PO.

Though the trumpets believe they are right,
Because their words are forked with lightning;
Do not go gentle into that good fight.

Good men, the last wave by, crying with woe
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the PO.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good fight.

Veterans, near death, can see and know
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the PO.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good fight.
Rage, rage against the dying of the PO.

John Ratzenberger, Cliff the mailman on 'Cheers,' records plea for USPS



(CNN)One of pop culture's most famous postal workers has some words of support for the United States Postal Service.

John Ratzenberger, who played beloved mailman Cliff Clavin on the hit comedy "Cheers," filmed a plea for people to support the post office.

"You know the post office is in a little bit of a pickle right now," he said. "It's certainly in the news, being bounced back and forth so I had an idea. Why not do all your Christmas shopping early at the post office store?"

The USPS has been in the headlines over concerns that the Trump administration is seeking to undermine the agency months before Election Day in a year where many are expected to vote by mail because of the pandemic.

9. KILL THE POST OFFICE

-

That's for people who only read the subject line, and ignore the rest of the post, and of course, to also get everyone else's attention.

Yes, I'm a drama queen, narcissistic, stupid, and anything else that you can think of, but what I really mean is to kill the Post Office with kindness.

I'm gonna buy a hundred stamps, envelopes, writing material, and start writing letters again to my friends and family.

It's a lost art that needs to be revived.

Thank you.
