The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy," Sometimes I drop my spoon".
Said the little old man, " I do that too".
The little boy whispered, " I wet my pants".
"I do that too, " laughed the old man.
Said the little boy, " I often cry."
The old man nodded."So do I".
"But worst of all,said the boy,"it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.
