Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. 🌻

Next week, I plan to to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day in the cinema, and I am excited! 🕷️

(By the way, the WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure ride at Disneyland California Adventure park is AMAZING! 🕸️)

If you’ve already seen the movie, how did you like it?

To prepare for the Avengers: Doomsday film later this year, I’ve been rewatching the films from the original Marvel universe.

I most recently rewatched Captain Marvel and had forgotten how much that film makes me laugh! Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) is HILARIOUS! 🤣

Who is your favorite character in that film?

It had been so long since I had watched Captain Marvel that I had forgotten that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) sings in it! 😃

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Samuel L. Jackson ALWAYS does such a phenomenal job in films! 💜

I remember hearing the 1961 song “Please Mr. Postman” by The Marvelettes, but I don’t really know the words to the song and thought it would be fun to look at them in this week’s post. 😊

Lyrics:

Oh, yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Wa-a-a-ait, Mr. Postman
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (Whoa, yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me? (Please, please, Mr. Po-o-ostman)
‘Cause it’s been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend who’s so far away
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me?
I’ve been standing here waiting, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait for you)
So-o, so patiently (Wait, wait for you)
For just a card or just a letter (Wait, wait for you)
Saying he’s returning home to me
(Please, Mr. Postman)
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (Whoa, yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me? (Please, please, Mr. Po-o-ostman)
‘Cause it’s been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
So many days, you’ve passed me by (Wait, Mr. Postman)
You saw the tears standing in my eye (Wait, Mr. Postman)
You wouldn’t stop to make me feel better (Wait, Mr. Postman)
By leaving me a card or a letter
Please, Mr. Postman, look and see (Postman, postman)
Is there a letter, oh, yeah, in your bag for me? (Postman, postman)
You know it’s been so long (Postman, postman)
Yeah, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine (Postman, postman)
You better wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh, you better wait a minute
(Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please check and see just one more time for me
You better wait, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Oh, you better wait a minute
Don’t pass me by
You see the tears in my eyes
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)
Please, Mr. Postman (Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Postman)

It’s such a catchy song! 💜

I love Motown music! ❤️

Okay, so we’ve got a boyfriend who has not sent any form of written communication to his girlfriend in a while, and she is VERY displeased.

I wonder if the postman feels uncomfortable that the girlfriend cries when she sees him! 🤣

What is the boyfriend’s excuse for not sending a card or letter? 🤷‍♀️

It’s pretty neat to see how impactful a mail carrier’s job was when this song was released! Now, it’s so easy to use technology to stay in touch, but back then, mail carriers helped people stay connected in meaningful ways! 💛

May you be well! 💙
