Show me the boy who never threw <br /> A stone at someone's cat; <br /> Or never hurled a snowball swift <br /> At someone's high silk hat. <br /> Who never ran away from school, <br /> To seek the swimming hole; <br /> Or slyly from a neighbor's yard <br /> Green apples never stole. <br /> Show me the boy who never broke <br /> A pane of window glass; <br /> Who never disobeyed the sign <br /> That says: 'Keep off the grass.' <br /> Who never did a thousand things, <br /> That grieve us sore to tell; <br /> And I'll show you a little boy <br /> Who must be far from well.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/about-boys/
