Helen’s theme for today is boys. I prowled through many songs about boys and by The Beach Boys and other groups with boys in the name. But I kept coming back to a song with boy in the lyrics; a song I really like: The Boxer, sung by Simon & Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon. I love the music, the story, and the lyrics. This song makes me yearn for something, but I don’t know what.
The hook lines for the prompt are in the first (‘I am just a poor boy though my story’s seldom told...’) and second (‘...I’m no more than a boy in the company of strangers…’) stanzas.
I selected the video because the lyrics are there and images get you through a lot of La la li, and Li la li, in the refrains. Great, great song.
Look both ways when runnin’ scared and laying low. Mind the gaps on 7th Avenue.

Beautiful song! Great choice Bill :O) x
