And I wasn't the leastest bit afraid,
Though I never once spoke or stirred;
Till, all of a sudden, he laughed right out
To see me sit quietly listening so;
And began to tell us stories about
Some queer little fellows in Mexico.
And all about Egypt and Spain—and then
He wasn't disturbed by a little noise,
And said that the greatest and best of men
Once were rollicking, healthy boys.
