What are little boys made of?
What makes them who they are?
Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails?
It's more than that by far!
Little boys are dreamers with incredible ideas!
Their imaginations are ever soaring,
Heroes defending, lions roaring,
From sea to space, always exploring.
What will they think up next?
