The only credit I deserve here is 1) lucking into something as awesome as the following, and 2) recognizing it for its awesomeness.
Anyway, since I decided to share it, perhaps you'll do the same -- if you believe it's worthy...
The Little Chap Who Follows Me
*
A careful man I ought to be,
A little fellow follows me,
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the selfsame way.
*
I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whate'er he sees me do, he tries;
Like me, he says, he's going to be,
The little chap who follows me.
*
He thinks that I am good and fine,
Believes in every word of mine
The base in me he must not see,
The little chap who follows me.
*
I must remember as I go,
Through summer's fun and winter's snow,
In building for the years to be
The little chap who follows me!
