The Bowls :

Please Inquire, should you wish
WHAT ARE LITTLE BOYS MADE OF, MADE OF? Snips and snails and serpents with tails... God forbid! We forget rocks!...
"What are....made of..." was
a favorite of Henry W. Longfellow's, who recited it frequently.
These two stanzas (from a bit longer
form of the verse) are attributed to Robert Southey (1774-1843),
an English poet and historian who
became poet laureate of England in 1813.
His prose was considered perfect by
Lord Byron.
Although it is not documented,
the rhyme is thought to have been composed about 1820.
It was included in Burton
Stevenson's Proverbs, entitled "What all the world is made of...",
and sometimes seen as "What Folks
are Made of..."
It is most certainly included in
Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes,
which I hope is still in the library
of children (and their parents) worldwide.
We also hope Mr. Southey won't mind
our additions!
It simply seems the
PERFECT
VALENTINE ... for folks of all ages,
and will perhaps engender a memory -
or smile - or two!
