Sympathy

Why are you weeping, little lad?
"Because (Boo-hoo!), it makes me sad
To see my thumbs (Boo-hoo!) so far
From where the other fingers are,—
Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!"

    This is pathetic but not in a bad way. I feel this piece would be good for children, I just find it laughable and not in the humorous sense. It doesn't work for me because I get it. I feel this would be better off for a child, and perhaps it was written for a child, who knows but Tabb.
