New Leaf Sonnet #1

Oh young hot guy at work how I love you
With your silky blond hair and your blue eyes
And your slyly mysterious grin. Do
You know how far above all other guys
Employed by this corporation you are?
In the midst of the swine you are the pearl,
The flower among thorns, a shining star,
Almost as beautiful as my dear Earl.
What does it mean when you smile like that?
It does things to me, southerly, that grin.
Be my darling sweetheart, my pussycat,
Oh heavenly angel teach me to sin.
Fly me to sexual healing above -
For too long have I been strung out on love.
