Boys and Saws

Boys & Saws

Found a saw – I’ve got to cut
Saw no wood around me but
A wooden pole that I could cut in two
So I grabbed the saw – was sawing
While in my head was gnawing
A thought that said I should have thought this through
My mom would not be happy
And neither would my pappy
If they knew what I was doing this was true
But I am just a kid
And I did what I did
Cause that’s what boys and saws were meant to do
