retired postmaster monologue

   As I woke from a hangover with my head spinning after my retirement celebration from being postmaster, I made myself a simple breakfast and strong coffee to get over my hangover. As I looked at my presents at my table, I saw an interesting shaped present. With haste I opened it hoping for something that could entertain myself. As I tore the wrapping paper to shreds, I received and easel and a paint set. As I thought to myself why did they bought me this, I decided to try it out. After I set everything up, I started thinking what do I want to draw as my first masterpiece. As I thought long and hard I remembered watching Mr. Bean on an episode where he has to paint and decided to paint myself a bowl of fruit. When I finished the painting I noticed that the painting was terrible and so I decided to prove myself again. I decided to try and imagine while I paint and when I completed I saw that I have painted the scenery of the post office unconsciously. As I reminisce the days of being a postmaster, I decided to improve my post office scenery and take painting classes so I would never just have to imagine my old job but turning it into a masterpiece. Without me noticing it, I found out that this useless present is the next best thing to happen to me.
