I appeared from an envelope made out of stone.
It's there at my base, you can see how it’s grown.
With leaves on my head and a tree by my side,
The good folk of Highgate walk past me with pride.

In a wall of stone that's rough and grey,
A red box waits to seize the day.
No crown, no throne, no royal fuss
Just letters, bills, and bits of us.

Outside Worcester Cathedral, bold as brass,
Stood a Penfold postbox, pure first-class.
No Worcestershire sauce, no royal decree,
Just Happy Liz, giggling with glee.

Morning GC. One of my favourite ever tunes, Drops of Jupiter, by Train.

Happy Saturday! If only we had 4 hours with you on the radio every week!

2 postboxes named Vicky went out for a drink,
A few bottles later, what would people think?
Weekday drinking wasn't very smart.
Put the empties on our head, and we'll tell them it's art!

My strength lies deep, beneath the ground,
Where silent stones and roots are bound.
And those who know me know it’s true
I’m built for more than just the view.

I’m balancing buildings like hats on my head,
While murals shout “Hundred!” and pigeons get fed.
I don’t get much mail, but I do get respect
I’m Eddy: a postbox and proud architect.

In Leadenhall Market, in the heart of the city
The postbox views the scene with pity.
People rushing, bustling, staring at screens
Our letter-loving box asks what it all means.

'Put your phone down', you may hear it call.
And write a letter or card. That's all.

The clock shows time is slipping away
That letter you keep meaning to write? Do it today.
Like this postbox in Oakham, scarlet in hue
There are plenty of postboxes waiting for you.

By St Albans’ Clock Tower, the double postbox stands,
Two mouths to gulp the letters from eager, hasty hands;
One whispers to the other, “First Class? Or Second, mate?”
“Either way,” says the Clock Tower, “you’ll still be late.”

A post box clings to a whitewashed wall,
At Post Box Cottage - proud and small.
In Cornwall's breeze it squints and grins,
Swallowing letters and seaside sins.

Tucked on the corner of Vicarage Lane,
This post box named George is waiting in vain.
He's waiting for letters, for cards and for you
So grab pen and paper, you know what to do.

Duck Island isn't what it seems -
The stuff of nightmares perhaps, or dreams?
Watching from the wall ahead
The postbox spy disguised in red

Highgate hums with tales of yore,
Of writers, rebels, rich and poor.
And that massive post box? Odd but true:
It's full of letters sent to you.

What's it like to scoot? the Penfold ponders,
Past Roman stones and ancient wonders.
Since 1866 I've done my duty
May I please have a go on that turquoise beauty?
