Poison d'Avril

There was a time when you could find postcards of almost anything or anyplace,
you even had the most appropriate postcard for every occasion.
There was a time when sending a postcard,
or receiving one for that matter, meant a great deal...
it wasn't so much that you believed in postcards,
that you believed in what they depicted, it was more that
you enjoyed chasing for the right one before sending,
or you appreciated the gesture and took pleasure from it when receiving one.

Sending and receiving postcards were what one was supposed to do then.
(I guess there's still people paying good money for postcards and collecting them, but it's not the same, is it ?)
