About Boys
January 2, 2008 · Filed Under Just Folks
Show me the boy who never threw
A stone at someone’s cat;
Or never hurled a snowball swift
At someone’s high silk hat.
Who never ran away from school,
To seek the swimming hole;
Or slyly from a neighbor’s yard
Green apples never stole.
Show me the boy who never broke
A pane of window glass;
Who never disobeyed the sign
That says: “Keep off the grass.”
Who never did a thousand things,
That grieve us sore to tell;
And I’ll show you a little boy
Who must be far from well.
