Affable Mail Carrier!

ding-dong! Mail's here!

Down the street, here she comes, Waving hi to everyone! "Morning, Sam! Hey there, Lou!" "Nice hat, Joe — and how are you?"

She knows your dog, she knows your name, Every porch she treats the same!

AFFABLE! AF-uh-bul! Warm and friendly, easy too! AFFABLE! AF-uh-bul! Always got a smile for you!

ding-dong!

But old Mr. Grumble never waves, He frowns behind his gate. She says "Morning!" just the same, And smiles, and says she'll wait.

Then one morning — there it was — His hand came up to say hello! The grumpiest man on the whole long street Waved back at her! Who'd know?

AFFABLE! AF-uh-bul! Warm and friendly, easy too! AFFABLE! AF-uh-bul! Even Grumble waves at you!

ding-dong!

See you tomorrow, Mr. Grumble?

"...You bet." — and he waves all the way down the street.
