Boys:  Short and Tall

Why is it with little boys
why so rough they have to be?
Why can’t they quietly sit
and have some tea with me?

We could talk about the weather
it would really be soooo much fun,
If only they didn’t need
to be always on the run.

But to a boy that’s all that matters
to run and climb and throw,
I wonder if a little boy they stay
even as they continue to grow?

Mom says it is so true
to them it is Nature’s call,
To remain a little boy
even as they grow so tall.
