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...

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...

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....

Was really good at his job, was no doubt
Until a heifer called Sally

Bob a Job it might be but you’re no scout

She is his aunt, living a life of red, white and blue.

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...

Today a black ant ran out of my C and H sugar bag
She was old, determined, mission-minded, a real hag
Trailing my sugar back to her well-attended ant nest
Ultimate scout, showing the way to my bag to the rest....

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!...

My daddy once told me that, when I was just a young scout
Was a liitle suspicious
POPS COULD BE QUITE SUPERCILIOUS

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.

Charming child, your apple cheeks
give an appearance which bespeaks
of girlish innocence.
I have ten dollars and ten cents -
Now that you have gained my trust,
do with me what you must.
Sell me cookies, 'lil booger,
and kill me with loads of sugar. ...

he wore a tiny boater hat,
	my mouse who played guitar,
and patrons at the local pub
	cheered, "wow, you've got a star!"
but then some talent-scout came in
	while mouse strummed on the bar …
"because he cannot sing," he groused,
	"he'll never make it far."
