Dick Morcraft said why <br />don’t you come to the <br /> <br />boy scouts tonight in the <br />church hall and learn how <br /> <br />to tie knots with ropes and <br />light fires with two sticks <br /> <br />and how to raise a tent and <br />in the summer we get to go <br /> <br />out in the wild countryside <br />and sleep under the night sky <br /> <br />and stars and canvas and sit <br />round the blazing campfire <br /> <br />singing songs together? and <br />you said all right and went <br /> <br />along but you got into a fight <br />with some fat kid who tried <br /> <br />to push you off the ropes and <br />so the scoutmaster sent you <br /> <br />off home and Morcraft said <br />next day you should have and <br /> <br />ignored the kid and stayed but <br />you couldn’t then and never did.<br /><br />Terry Collett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-boy-scout/
