Boy Scout

A tenderhearted lad from Schenectady Gave his elbow to an elderly lady Helping her across the street, While never missing a beat Leaves her happy in a better spot shady. Written May 18, 2022

Good Limerick, Milt. Good deed of the day, they say in scouting.

I love what Caren said below. That had not even entered my mind.

What a relief! I was afraid you were going to say she was kicking and screaming because she had just made her way over there.

Nope. Just a simple limerick about a kind boy scout.

A little act of kindness goes a long way and makes someone's say. Tom

That is so true, Tom. We need more acts of kindness in the world...always.

I am starting to see the uncertainty of age on my oldest sisters face.Your limerick showed how much a kindness Of little effort to the young means to the elderly.Thanks for sharing.
