What Are Little Boys Made Of -- Parts 1 & 2

Today I am going to have fun and like to get dirty pretty much, which in fact, I think I have pretty much avoided Caleb from getting too dirty in the snow, mud, dirt, sand, etc, because frankly I don't want to clean up the mess.  The poem "What are little boys made of?" dates back to the early 19th century.  Let's get this thing started, shall we?


                                                                           Part 1:
                                                        What are little boys made of?

Snips and snails, and puppy dog tails,

That's what little boys are made of. 

Part 2:

A wee bit of dirt

and a devilish grin...

Curious eyes and

Spaghetti sauce

chin.

A dollop of mud

behind his right ear,

And a handful

of worms in his

pocket I fear.

You see his knees

through the

holes in his jeans

He likes ice cream

but won't eat his

beans.

He's made of

mudpies and

bubble gum kisses

and wonder at

Christmas and

birthday wishes.

And a heap of

giggles and

wiggles and love,

These are the things

little boys are

made of.

I hope you enjoyed my poems for today. See you next week for my next blog.
