I think the coolest thing about a post card is that moment you think of someone, throw some words on there and send it. Except the other day my dog got a postcard from the vet, wherein she has to go to her first "Senior dog" checkup. She's old enough now to get a discount at a buffet apparently.

  In the post:   
  

  Magazine, Magazine Magazine
  Who is sending it to me? 

  Bill Bill Bill
  I can't pay one more and still eat

  Junk Junk Junk
  I am the human garbage transport

  But hidden between church advertisments and get rich quick schemes  and political messages, 
  peaking out from the rip offs and the overwhelming amount of rain drenched paper, peering 
  from the myriad of junkets. 

  A picture of a sun drenched beach:
  "Thinking of you in Hawaii"

Did you write that?

btw, your postcard is finally on its way to you!

Yeah I just wrote it cause this is a writing prompt post thing right? Did I do it wrong? I'm sorry.

Hell no! It's great. I was a little confused by the title - I thought it might mean that you saw this in a magazine. If you meant "Magazine, magazine, magazine" to be the first line - can you fix that. And the title is "In the Post" - correct?

Thank you for contributing. This is a writing prompt thing!

Edit: It's better already. Things sometimes look funny.

Oh yeah I did mess it up a bit! I fixed it though. Thanks for doing this, I had a lot of fun thinking about this.
