Explore "His Lady Friend" by Ring Lardner on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Who is Sylvia? What is she / That early every morning / You desert your family / And rush to see her, scorning / Your once cherished ma and me?
Are her playthings such a treat?
I will steal 'em from her; / Better that than not to meet / My son and heir all summer, / Save when he comes home to eat.
Or is she herself the one / And only real attraction?
Has your little heart begun / To get that sort of action?
Better wait a few years, son.
