Scout Boy

Let's see
what's in the barrel
...a bit moldy

old boy scout shirt
nice badge on the pocket
a few pins

20 mile hike
look for the ride
that wasn't there

morse code -..-
a merit badge
for dits and dahs

award ceremony
4 evening miles
past farm dogs

deciding
it was enough
and joined a band

Some fine lady in the First Baptist Church suggested I leave the Cub Scouts because I didn't see the need to read the book and try to get any badges. I joined the band early. Great poem Steve!!
