Errand

the girl lived downstairs the boy two floors above through me exchanged letters of immature hearts in love. he wrote: can we meet love for a minute? handed to me his secret chit why I came down the girl only knew his letter brought her a blushing pink hue! quickly on that same chit she scribbled a hand girly sweet she wrote: I would die to meet you just once but today there hardly is a chance papa hasn't gone to office through this letter I send you my kiss. I, love's tender messenger went up with her love letter as he read it heaved a deep sigh at home, goddamned, why? he wrote: slip out when he sleeps at three we meet under the mahogany tree please love do this much for me I beg you some minutes only. thus rhymed two hearts' dancing beat the boy was too young to fathom it nothing though he could understand yet faithfully he ran their errand!
