Thank You Notes
Thank you
for the gift.
Expect a fill-in-the-blank, handwritten thank you note
with little to no distinction from
the fifty others I will send out this week,
along with an item bearing equal or greater value
to your gift.
And next week,
I’ll be awaiting your note
to start the cycle over again.

I remember my mother made us hand write thank you notes for all the birthday gifts we got. Heartfelt notes Personal notes, letters, thank yous have fallen by the wayside. Email thanks are just not the same. Sad but true poem. Thanks!
I like how your diction reflects the formulaic nature of thank you notes. Nicely done!
