The Boys
Very close they were,
each was a brother;
wherever one went
the others followed.
Three in all,
youthful and spry;
roaming through the forest
breakfast till supper.
From winter's long pants
they needed no more
came their short pants
they wore all summer.
Shirts were cut, too,
from one season's use;
more often than not 'tho
their backs were golden.
They saved their shoes
for Sunday School;
walking everywhere
barefoot in the summer.
