Hey there, Mr. U.P.S.
today I had to stare,
I looked up at the corner
and saw him sitting there.

I knew it wasn't, really,
but still it was a shock.
How dare you look so like him?
For moments, I was rocked.

I drove away still shaking
and wishing it was true.
But sadly it was not him,
it seems it was just you...


With apologies to the handsome UPS guy, It's not his fault I nearly had a heart attack this morning  LOL

Go ahead and make an order. Let the UPS man deliver, it might be the best package you could ask for.

Hey I did this when my wife left me...she had just bought a Ford Tauras and I was seeing them everywhere...and my heart would jump...its her, it's her...but it was not.
When Gina left me I accidentally ran into her at the Ala Moana Mall and she kindof wanted to hang out with me but I didn't...
here in Makakilo we have a very nice Mail Lady that I have been noticing for some time now...she's was a high school classmate of my friend Jesse...James

I once worked somewhere where we got regular UPS deliveries.  He usually wore shorts.  I never mistook him for anyone else but had many fantasies about him and his sexy calves... cute poem and it brought back nice memories of MY UPS man.
