Question: A little ditty for Jeffle!. Do you have milkmen!?
An Ode to our Milkman

We’ve got a jolly milkman
He delivers every day
And, despite our strong insistence,
He will not go away!.

We tell him not to leave the milk
The sunlight makes it smell!.
We tell him we use cartons
That the supermarkets sell!.

We tell him he’s an anachronism
That he’s past his sell-by date
And as that has had no great effect
We’ve booby-trapped our gate!
