"Boys Will Be Boys"
The photo caption said
It looked out of place in this exhibition
Along with all the bright watercolors and handmade sculpture
Going with the whole Art Of Children theme
But this picture stood out
This slice of boyhood
Showing a mix of emotion on the four boy's faces
Grim satisfaction
Queasy doubt
Fake grown-up manliness
A hint of regret
In short
The most common feelings that happen all too often
Immediately following most situations and hi jinks
That result in some disinterested grown-up saying those old words:
"Boys will be boys"
