First Line: There are lizards in the pool
Last Line: Cause they're not a little boy.
Subject(s): Boys; Envy
There are lizards in the pool,
Pollywogs and fishes fleet;
Swimming where it's wet and cool,
Finding tiny things to eat.
They don't have to go to school,
They can always wet their feet.
P'raps it gives them extra joy
'Cause they're not a little boy.
