That boy! What’s he doing here
Leaving the sheep to the wilderness?
Where’s the kid off to now?
Seeing the king!
What does the lad look like
Happed up in a real man’s armour!
But look now - that youth is off
To play giant-killer!
See him - a young man against
An experienced man of war!
Here, did you see what my brother
Did to Goliath?
What a man!
1 Samuel 17
Interesting poem seen from anothers perspective! Love this!
