What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That’s what little boys are made of!”
What are little girls made of?
“Sugar and spice and all things nice
That’s what little girls are made of!”
The poem’s a Mother Goose nursery rhyme. The origin of the poem can be traced to the early 19th century – the battle of the sexes was raging even then! The words of “What are little boys made of” obviously reflect this, but what is the meaning of ‘snips and snails’? Several interpretations have been suggested but the one with the most credibility is that the original words were in fact ‘snips of snails’ – the origin of snips meaning ‘little bits of’. No redemption there for describing what little boys are made of’! And, of course, little girls love to hear that they are made of “Sugar and spice and all things nice!”
Girl are made of sugar, spice and everything nice(also what made the powerpuff girls, with a hint of Chemical X). Snips and snails and puppy dog tails, thats what boys are made of. What a snip is I’ll NEVER find out
