Title of Poem: The bow leg boy by Eugene Field
Category : Funny Poems
Who should come up the road one day
But the doctor-man in his two-wheel shay!
And he whoaed his horse and he cried 'Ahoy!
I have brought you folks a bow-leg boy!
Such a cute little boy!
Such a funny little boy!
Such a dear little bow-leg boy!'
He took out his box and he opened it wide,
And there was the bow-leg boy inside!
And when they saw that cunning little mite,
They cried in a chorus expressive of delight:
'What a cute little boy!
What a funny little boy!
What a dear little bow-leg boy!'
Observing a strict geometrical law,
They cut out his panties with a circular saw;
Which gave such a stress to his oval stride
That the people he met invariably cried:
'What a cute little boy!
What a funny little boy!
What a dear little bow-leg boy!'
They gave him a wheel and away he went
Speeding along to his heart's content;
And he sits so straight and he pedals so strong
That the folks all say as he bowls along:
'What a cute little boy!
What a funny little boy!
What a dear little bow-leg boy!'
With his eyes aflame and his cheeks aglow,
He laughs 'aha' and he laughs 'oho';
And the world is filled and thrilled with the joy
Of that jolly little human, the bow-leg boy--
The cute little boy!
The funny little boy!
The dear little bow-leg boy!
If ever the doctor-man comes my way
With his wonderful box in his two-wheel shay,
I 'll ask for the treasure I'd fain possess--
Now, honest Injun! can't you guess?
Why, a cute little boy--
A funny little boy--
A dear little bow-leg boy!
