Notes For The Milkman
(back in the good old days!)

These are actual notes left for the Milkman

"Dear Milkman,
I've just had a baby, please leave another one."

"Please leave an extra pint of paralyzed milk."

"Please don't leave any more milk.
All they do is drink it."

"Sorry not to have paid your bill before,
but my wife had a baby, and I've been carrying it
around in my pocket for weeks."

"Sorry about yesterday's note.
I didn't mean one egg and a dozen pints,
but the other way 'round."

"When you leave my milk, knock on my bedroom
window and wake me because
I want you to give me a hand to turn the mattress."

"Please knock. My TV's broken down, and I missed
last night's SOPRANOS.
If you saw it, will you tell me what happened?"

"My daughter says she wants a milkshake.
Do you do it before you
deliver, or do I have to shake the bottle?"

"Please send me a form for cheap milk,
for I have a baby two months old and
did not know about it until a neighbor told me."

"Milk is needed for the baby.
Father is unable to supply it."

"From now on please leave two pints every other day and
one pint on the days in between, except Wednesdays
and Saturdays when I don't want any milk."

"My back door is open. Please put milk in 'fridge,
get money out of cup in drawer and leave change on
kitchen table, because we want to play
bingo tonight."

"Please leave no milk today. When I say today,
I mean tomorrow, for I
wrote this note yesterday...or is it today ?"

"When you come with the milk please put the coal on the boiler,
let dog out, and put newspaper inside the screen door.
P.S. Don't leave any milk."

"No milk. Please do not leave milk at No. 14 either
as he is dead until further notice."

I'm glad you liked them, Joanne..... they made me laugh too. Those were the days
My milkman was the best help to me when my twins were tiny babies. He and his wife had one-year-old twins, so he knew lots of tips as to how to cope with two babies at once. He used to advise me while delivering the milk....far more use than any health visitor at the time
