THE BENELOVENT BOY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: A VERY BENEVOLENT BOY, O HO!
Last Line: THIS VERY BENEVOLENT BOY!
Subject(s): GENEROSITY;

A very benevolent boy, O ho!
A very benevolent boy!
He said, "Oh, I wish I had silver and gold!
I'd fill a big house till no more it could hold
With every nice candy and toy!"
This exceedingly generous boy!
"And my Christmas dollar? O pshaw! don't you see?
I'll have to keep that to buy candy for me!"
This very benevolent boy!
