Little Boy (1) ... Little Boy (2)

[jones jones]

I wrote Little Boy (1) on the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan.

LITTLE BOY. (1)

On this day a

Little boy fell

And millions cried,

Not for him but for

Humanity which also

Died.

LITTLE BOY (2)

I wish I were a little boy

In short pants and bare feet

Giving to my mother joy

And kissing girls I meet!

I would be so very cute

And mom would hug me tight

“Jones you are a little beaut!”

She’d tell me every night.

But sadly I’m a grown man

My moms no longer here

Others hardly give a damn

Even when I shed a tear!
