Explore "Love Sonnets of an Office Boy" by Samuel Ellsworth Kiser on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Yesterday I stood behind your chair / When you was kind of bendin' down to write, / And I could see your neck, so soft and white, / And notice where the poker singed your hair, / And then you looked around and seen me there, / And kind of smiled, and I could seem to feel / A sudden empty, sinkish feelin' where / I'm all filled up when I've just e't a meal.
Dear Frankie, where your soft, sweet finger tips / Hit on the keys I often touch my lips, / And wunst I kissed your little overshoe, / And I have got a hairpin that you wore -- / One day I found it on the office floor -- / I'd throw my job up if they fired you.
