L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

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.

Bill Baker May 29, 2022 at 11:16 AM Good Limerick, Milt. Good deed of the day, they say in scouting. L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 12:05 PM I love what Caren said below. That had not even entered my mind.

Caren Krutsinger May 19, 2022 at 4:06 AM 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. Bill Baker May 29, 2022 at 11:17 AM Good reply, Caren, made me smile. :-) L Milton Hankins May 19, 2022 at 8:11 AM Nope. Just a simple limerick about a kind boy scout.
