Another thirty minutes,
All scout boats grounded....

Yet I am not anywhere
Some days will be there

Though I am somewhere
Fighting thorns to discover
That thrones be conquer...

There once was a girl scout named Daisy
She was just a little bit crazy
She ate magnets for lunch
They went down in a bunch
Luckily she was not at all lazy...

    when you embark on a shopping trip

  to scout out the latest markdowns and deals
    on matching trash cans ~ C'mon, Jill, get real...

Stuck in forest
Climb, feel breeze!

Scout where to go
If stuck may not know!

Sink into despair?
Connect with those who care!

Blaze the way
Peace someday!

Thursday morning I went out 

With my friends and relatives , on the scout

I took many picture with a pout 

It was a fun day with a good thought

I will never forget the trip to the scout...

How's your lower east side making out
Mine's fine 'cept I creak when out and about
Maybe an old war injury
Too young for the infantry
War ended, was wounded as a Boy Scout...

miniature daisy stamens within daisies
in ombre' too, fascinatingly innocent
no wonder you are the favorite flower of girl scouts
and Juliette Low...

It can't be fooled, your old nose knows
If it smells like a rat it sure ain't no crow
So trust your snout
As an advanced scout
If it's in error, it's one you'll never outgrow...

Mice, rats, winter day clouds, coats, shawls.
Gray pants, tunics, bugles play calls.
Horses neigh for action hate stalls.
Ride hard brave scout.
Paint on iron battleship hulls
make rust stay out....

There was as black bull called Bob, a big lout
Was really good at his job, was no doubt
Until a heifer called Sally
Said we aint that pally
Bob a Job it might be but you’re no scout

He is a boy scout, taught to be honest and true.
She is his aunt, living a life of red, white and blue.
They are in church to honor the soldiers today.
US Soldiers deserve respect, love and a hip hip hooray!...

Although He's spiritually
Among us and not physically
He's out 
There on a scout
Looking at all cost to host
Only those who are lost
Because He's passionate
He forgives without any condition...

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.

Hope You’re Hungry
By: Tom Wright
3/27/2006

Ask, hint, suggest, but never use force or threaten.
Using force with me, always summons resistance,
So like a good scout, be prepared,
To eat what you plate.

Doubts during bouts,
Asking gods' whereabouts
Asking: is this the route to South?
Should I set forth, to get North?
Is there a feast in the East?
Will I be pest in the West?

The scout pouts in doubts
of passing without a compass...

Is a pup tent the result of two grown-up tents making out
My daddy once told me that, when I was just a young scout
Was a little suspicious
He was often SUPERCILIOUS
My apologies friends, I really didn't mean to shout!...

Is a pup tent the result of two grown up tents making out
My daddy once told me that, when I was just a young scout
Was a liitle suspicious
POPS COULD BE QUITE SUPERCILIOUS
My apologies my friends, I really didn't mean to shout!...

Limerick : Once a Bengal Tigress supped on a Goat

Once a Bengal Tigress supped on a Goat
The horns – pardon – got stuck in her throat
A Dentist pulled one out
The other by a Scout
Now – sad to say – Both made her bloat.

Last night,
a spirit moved along the ceiling...
I followed it 
through cat eyes.
   It moved slowly
like a winter spider 
or sower in an oil painting.
  Was it a surveyor from heaven,
a hell sent scout
or just a mousy dream 
shuffling
beyond a shadow of doubt....

My vice and addiction is not with bookies
But my money’s spent on Girl Scout cookies.
My daughter she sells them and gives me a wink
For she knows I will buy them before I could blink
The shortbreads, the caramels, the cinnamon swirls
The supporters of my addiction are these little girls...

I remember waking up  
To the sudden sense of fear
My camping bag was packed
I could sense what was near
The 3 hour drive 
Was a bit of drag
Where I would spend 5 nights
Saluting the flag
I was nervous at first
Didn’t think it was fair
But then I realized
I was under their care
And I felt safe...

Couple o' big ones up ahead
    Probably left us two for dead
  But in my scout-book I once read
    They've a weakness for toxic lead

  So, off with your pants, little kid
    In a minute you'll be glad what I did
  Now from your butt, all the lead shake out
    ~ We'll put these fearsome ladybugs to rout...
