Said the little boy, 'Sometimes I drop my spoon.' <br />Said the old man, 'I do that too.' <br />The little boy whispered, 'I wet my pants.' <br />'I do that too,' laughed the little old man. <br />Said the little boy, 'I often cry.' <br />The old man nodded, 'So do I.' <br />'But worst of all,' said the boy, 'it seems <br />Grown-ups don't pay attention to me.' <br />And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. <br />'I know what you mean,' said the little old man.<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-boy-and-the-old-man/
