“Why God made little Boys?”

God made a world out of his dreams,

                   Of magic mountains, oceans and streams.

Of prairies and plains and wooded land,

                   Then he thought, I need someone to stand.

To watch the sunlight up the sky,

                   To see the nestlings, learn to fly.

To watch the squirrel hide her nuts, and

                    Hear the wind whistle its thoughts.

To chase a glow worm’s tiny lantern,

                    And steal all joy from nature’s cistern.

To watch a dove’s pristine plumes,

                    And dance to the river’s merry tunes.

To cower at the sea wave’s ruthless gyration.

                    And smell the dew kissed fragrant carnation.

So God made creatures tiny and nice and,

                    Put them in charge of Oceans and 7 skies.

After having created ‘Boys’ full of fun,

                    He thought “That’s a job well done”.
