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 fo tell;
And I'll show you a little boy
Who must be far from well.

My sentiments exactly. I have two sons and I think they did everything mentioned except skip school to go to the watering hole. Good thing school was out for the summer when the neighborhood swimming pools were open, huh!
Great!

OK. Er. This feels weird. I've never written anything about an oldpoetry poem before. It's kind of strange, I can say whatever the hell I like critically about it and know he isn't going to go in a mood with me. OK... that was the most appauling... no. I love that. It's funny. It's enough to make me feel that Lemony Snicket would be wrong in his latest book.

This is a psychological analysis in the rhyme form...very interesting and meaningful.
