Recipe for a Good Letter 
by Amos Russel Wells

 

To write a good letter, 
take a handful of grit,

A plenty of time
and a little of wit;

Take patience to "set" it,
and stir it all up

With the ladle of energy.
Then fill a cup

With kind thoughts
and helpful thoughts, 
merry thoughts too.

With bright words,
and wise words,
and words strong and true.


Mix all these together,
and then add for spice

Some good news,
some funny news,
all news that's nice.

Then seal with a love kiss
and stamp it with care;

Direct to your friend's heart,
and presto! 'tis there.
