WB Limerick Contest

[tcherven]

I wrote this with my wood badge pencil:

 

The SPL so perfect was he,

For everyone he always made tea.

He filled up the pot

And returned to his cot,

And said "Ouch! I've banged my knee."

 

To the patrols he said with a plea,

"Will someone please come and help me?"

All the foxes agreed.

They would indeed,

"It's our move," they said with glee.

 

They met to determine their vision.

And ended up with a great big division.

We're having a storm,

For our patrol, that's the norm,

But we need to make a decision.

 

So they brought their vision to life.

To make a difference, they led without strife.

With tools of the trade,

A successful model they made,

The decision to go get a knife.

 

"We know you that you like to make tea,

But there is a problem that we see.

So thick is your brew,

Here's what we'll do,

We have to divide it by three."

 

And the tea was served by the wall,

to everyone, both short and tall,

And the staffers agree

The result of the knee,

Was the most drinkable tea of all.

Critters from Gilwell abound

Their loyalty that of a hound

they sing as they go

some high, some low

and some dont make a sound

[kraut-60]

An Antelope sniffed the air

Sensing scent of a wandering Bear

As the Ursus drew near

The "Lope showed its rear

While it darted away to its lair

[kraut-60]

The Fox,Eagle and Owl

Were about to throw in the towel

Our tickets are all wrong

You'd think we sang a bad song

To our Troop Guide who's Simon Cowell

[kraut-60]

The bobwhite went for a hike

While the buffalo rode on his bike

The beaver was chewing

while the coffee was brewing

And a leak sprang up from its dike

[kraut-60]

Good 'ol staffers they are

Coming from near and far

on the courses last day

they collect up their pay

And head out for a critter-free bar

[OldGreyEagle]

Said a Bear sitting comfortably in his lair

As he ran a paw through his rather unruly hair

I know there are Eagles

Who would argue what is legal

But I prefer to concentrate on whats fair

Wood Badge is over, Im working my ticket,

If I could do it again I wouldnt pick it

Id act a bit more cheesy, write up something real easy

Get my beads and woggle, on my neck I would stick it.

De dum deedee dum deedee dum,

De DUM deedee dum deedee DUM,

De dum deedee dum,

de dum deedee dum,

Should I take Woodbadge course or just skip it?

[AnneinMpls]

There once was a girl from Mpls,

Where seemed Scouting was just for the few of us,

de dum deedee dum

de dum deedee dum

(Something along the lines of she learned so much in the course that when she got home she was able to recruit a gazillion new unit commissioners, resurrect 8 dead units, and fill them all to capacity, start a new Sea Scout Ship on the Mississippi, get a donated gorgeous boat, and donated space to store it off the river in the winter months, and have potential new chartering orgs tracking her down wanting to start more new units)

Now Scouting's for many many more of us!
