Explore "Thrills of a Bell Boy" by Samuel Ellsworth Kiser on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
SOME people make me sick. They act as though / They'd leased this hemisphere. See that boy there, / The way he tilts his head up in the air / And struts around so everybody'll know / He's cut his second teeth. Now watch him go / And ask about the telegrams. I'll bet / Nobody ever telegraphed him yet, / Or if they did it's comin' mighty slow.
When she was operatin' yesterday / He leaned against the railin', lookin' wise / And spoilin' blanks and makin' goo-goo eyes.
