A Boy Scout (No More)

"I am a Boy Scout"! I always scream and shout, When I help the elderly cross the street Or when strangers I do meet. I reverently obey the Boy Scout's law But, not to one person, but for them all, I am trustworthy, loyal, courteous and kind And I always keep a cheerful and a clean mind. I am helpful and obedient and thrifty and brave I am also friendly and proud, as I give a Scout's wave, Daily I will recite the Boy Scout's oath Which has led to my spiritual and conscience growth! I have helped foreigners and the poor at many times And never have they mocked me or committed crimes, I keep myself mentally awake and morally straight To do my duty for God and for my country, I can't wait. I live the Scout's motto so I am always prepared To do a good turn daily I have always declared, A better person I have always wanted to be As I pray for my family and always for my country. At our National Jamboree, the president arrived While we Scouts celebrated scouting, our spirits were revived, The president then insulted others and then he swore; I am now a Boy Scout, no more.
