About Boys

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