Punching In

He was the new guy at work

She had been there for years

He didn’t even seen to notice her

She was smitten with his sense of humor

At the time clock he would make her laugh

But he was so out of her reach

He was handsome funny and smart

She was none of those

Then one day when life had her down

He went out of his way

And asked what was wrong

He freed her of the burden she held

It made her care for him even more

By then though he was busy with the new girl

She was beautiful, smart and

She made him laugh at the time clock
