THE LITTLE BOY NEXT DOOR, by                    
First Line: Suppose the little boy next door
Last Line: In view of our publicity.
Subject(s): Boys


Suppose the little boy next door
Should grow to fame like lads of yore,
And all his friends, like you, and me,
Were put in a biography.

It really gives one food for thought,
Have we reacted as we aught
Towards a celebrity?

If he should chase our pussy cat,
Or soil our wash, or this, or that,
Could it be said we failed to see
His charming personality?

So let us be more circumspect,
And give to him all due respect,
In view of our publicity.
