I got an envelope in the mail, that said on the outside, You've won the money prize!
I got excited and messaged all my friends and relatives,
But when I began to open it, to find out how much,
I suddenly noticed that the mail was a Nixie!
I don't get nixies very often but when I do they are usually to someone who lived here way before I did. I've lived here almost 10 years so that may be why I don't get much.
Nixies seem to have extremely long lives
(or is it that they have multiple lives?)
because I still receive them, for a name that stopped being anyone's name, over 2 decades ago.
(And was not a name in use for long, and I have moved addresses in that time, as well ...) Nixies are very persistent!
