My first is in blue, but not in glue,
My second in old, but not in new.
My third in look, but not in see,
My last in ask, but not in plea.
My whole has leaves but not a flower,
I’ll help you pass an idle hour.
I don’t think my letter carrier (postman) likes me.
I was mailing some photographs to my cousin (yes, we used to do this in the days before digital and yes, I am a dinosaur! anyway…) and on the envelope I had printed – PHOTOGRAPHS DO NOT BEND.
He folded the envelope in half and wrote on the outside, “Oh yes they do.”
