Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Stamp of Disapproval

A new postage stamp was issued

By the national government.

A controversy then ensued.

The stamp would just not stick when sent

On an envelope as charge for

Privilege of using the mail.

But stampless envelopes galore 

Seemed to be caused by one detail.

The only problem the stamp had

Was choice of image on its face.

No doubt the decision was bad,

A politician there to place.

Non sticking stamp can't be denied.

The spit is put on the wrong side.
