Dear Aunt Maude

Dear Aunt Maude,

I wanted to write you earlier
But my dog ate the stationery
And then I fell ill, shod
In your gift, those slippers, furrier
Than my dog. On the contrary,

Though I seemed lost, I am now found.
I'm feeling pretty chipper
Hope you are too, thriving and all.
Well I just wanted to say how
Thankful I am for those slippers
And to tell you I'll call

In a few days, after you get this.
Give Uncle Drew a kiss.

Love,
Elnora
