Love Letters.

"Love Letters"

By Frederick Key

Joey said “A, Emily,

I’ll B around at eight.”

She said, “I’ll C you later then,

With my friend, D, I’ll wait.”

He thought with E’s he’d motor there

And would, F naught were wrong.

But G, the things that happen make

The heart H like a song.

Em was the apple of his I

Like a J, his heart would soar

But he also liked her sister, K,

Which led to L once more.

He called that night and told her “M,

I’m sad N sorry, see? 

O, I've got such a bellyache,

It hurts me when I P.”

He met Kaye in the casino Q

Where passes R had for free.

Although he felt like a royal S

Kaye looked good in her T.

U can’t two-time, he told himself,

This liaison V must break.

“I’ll W dough at craps,” she said,

“If I may X you for a stake.”

Y did Joe finally call it off?

It’s not too hard to Z.

For Emily’s letters were really sweet,

And Kaye’s numbers brought bankruptcy.
