"growing old and feeble "?

I was old and feeble!

Now I'm starting to think I'm ancient and decrepit!!

Before I can start to work the ticket I'd have to write it:

Ten minutes looking for the pen.

Ten minutes looking for the bifocals.

Twenty minutes trying to remember what my vision was?

By that time Rory and Joe need to go out for a Doggie constitutional stretch of their legs.

Have to re-find the pen.

Remember that the bifocals are on top of the old noggin.

By which time I'm feeling tired and weary and thinking "What the heck!! Tomorrow is another day!!"

Seen in another thread that my good pal Beaver had a birthday last week (Many happy returns.)I think he said he hit the big 50.

I hit it 18 months back. Received a few cards telling me I was over the hill!!

I must be! But it's a lot easier coasting down the darn hill than it was peddling up it -Wheee!

Ea.

LOL!! Not to interupt the song but you know how us old foggies are..we have to talk while we can still remember what we were going to say!!!! ;) When I hit that half-century "benchmark" 3 years ago...a couple of friends of mine who live in other states secretly conspired with my best friend here, to have the grim reaper show up at the Scout meeting...complete with bouquet of black balloons!! It was very unexpected and quite memorable. The boys got a real kick out of it too!!

I used to be a Beaver, and a Good Old Beaver too,

But now I've finished Beavering and I don't know what to do.

I'm growing old and feeble, and I can Beaver no more!

So I'm going to work my ticket if I can!

Well, now that we have thoroughly discussed the song, and we finally got through the official order to my position...

(thread started in May-it''s now Sept)

 

Spring has sprung

Fall has fell

the weather here

is hotter than usual.

 

I used to be a Buffalo [stomp]

and a good ol'' Buffalo, too.

But now I''m finished Buffaloing,

I don''t know what to do.

I''m getting old and feeble

and I can Buffalo no more,

So, I''m going to work my ticket if I can.

I''m going to work my ticket if I can.

 

I got to visit Gilwell,

and Brownsea Island, too.

Became a B-P Fellow

and met the Jambo Crew

supporting World Scouting

Is now my major plan,

and, I''m going to work my ticket if I can.
