Poem Artwork

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,
That's what little girls are made of

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Passing time will modify
kissing along the way
puppy tails become men
kissing along the way
sugar and spice become women

Then what?

Kissing along the way
we make more of us

What then?

Kissing along the way
continue uniting differences

(c) Then with Now What

Kissing works. Plus I get countless kisses every morning and evening from puppy dog tails Kali and Nilla ever in search of biscuits. (they work cheap). Patrick

There aren't too many two hundred year old poems that most of us can recite today an it is amusing to read your little segue. Just goes to show that there are a few undiscovered ingredients in little girls. Makes me wonder how Southey missed them.

Kissing along the way,

There must be a whole lot of kissing going on, since we recently passed the 7 Billion mark.

Let's hear it for kissing. America's pastime, never mind baseball and mom's apple pies. Smooching is the way, the only way, to go. Pucker up, y'all . . .
