Excuse me for gloating, but I have considerable training in Gloat.

This postcard is from the 1930s or 40s. The finish is not plastic but cardboard with a cross-hatched finish, what collectors call a “linen.”

Someone once gave me a set of adorable stickers. I did what I could with them on this envelope:

Elephants would be more appropriate. Pretend the bears are Russians. Pretend that Russians were on the ballot. Oh wait, we were too busy pretending that Trump was on the ballot.

At last, Democrats control Congress. Poetry.
