Boy Scouts and Brussel Sprouts

If all of you out there are good Boy Scouts
Better be sure to eat your brussel sprouts
And have hog jowls along with some grits
Even if someone said Shallotte is the pits.

In church basement, Boy Scouts are meeting;
When they began, God are always greeting
So from all of their sins, they can repent;
Why in church would a room have to rent?

Free, free, free will be the word for me
And with no one do we ever disagree;
God's love is in our life every day
But by Baptists we were blown away.

Scouts take an oath and should be saying
God always respect when we are praying
While Baptists their building like to hoard;
Keep to themselves and not share their Lord.

You must look in pine tree to find a cone
And join Baptist Church to be left alone;
While we were reading the Brunswick Beacon
People left because baptismal pool was leaking.

I wrote this after I heard about the Baptist Church kicking out the Boy Scouts for accepting gays into their Troop. Now how ridiculous is that? That is the South for you.
