I would see him in the mornings He Like me liked to get to work early gently puffing away on his cigarette The Man in the building who smokes I thought he was a little scary at first seemed grumpy and aloof gray and wrinkled lines forming around his mouth like bowing natives around a fire The Man in the building who smokes was actually kind of funny when I (you?) got to know him Standing outside rain - sleet - snow more dependable than the mail or our couriers He didn't take anyone's guff and could tell you a million jokes if you had a bad day He even figured out where the buildings property stopped so he could continue being The Man in the building who smokes I took some days off and then it got busy days turning into weeks I asked my co worker if he has seen The Man in the building who smokes.

The Man in the Building Who Smokes
I would see him in the mornings He Like me liked to get to work early gently puffing away on his cigarette The Man in the building who smokes I thought he was a little scary at first seemed grumpy and aloof gray and wrinkled lines forming around his mouth like bowing natives around a fire The Man in the building who smokes was actually kind of funny when I (you?) got to know him Standing outside rain - sleet - snow more dependable than the mail or our couriers He didn't take anyone's guff and could tell you a million jokes if you had a bad day He even figured out where the buildings property stopped so he could continue being The Man in the building who smokes I took some days off and then it got busy days turning into weeks I asked my co worker if he has seen The Man in the building who smokes.
