JUST THE BOY
I looked at the clock, it was three
o’clock,
I thought, he’ll be coming soon;
His cap on the back of his curly
head,
And whistling a tuneless tune.
He’ll bang the front door and he’ll
throw his books.
Clear across the kitchen floor;
He’ll wink at the cook as he grabs a
cake,
Then eat a dozen or more.
The old cat will open one' drowsy
eye,
Her tail will swell twice its size,
But the Scotty will rush to meet a
friend,
A welcome in his brown eyes.
I heard the whistle, I knew that I
would,
But he passed right by my door;
The old cat purred on by the kitchen
fire,
From the Scotty, came a snore.
Next door I heard him as he loudly
called
For mother and then for dad;
For you see he wasn’t my boy at alb
Just the boy that I might have had.
