Ode to a Girl Scout Leader's Family:
Even though there
are stacks of dirty dishes, laundry and an unmade bed,
She's off again to yet another Girl Scout meeting instead.
She has plenty of time to buy great snacks and food for all the
troop,
While here we wait, forced to survive on nothing but bread and
soup.
Ah yes, they have
grand adventures in the great outdoors 'neath the rain filled
sky.
Yet all we hear are tales of woe as sleeping bags and troop gear
take several days to dry.
We'll be on our own to clean and cook,
Since before an outing the phone rings off the hook..
"What time do
we leave? Where do we meet? Are we still going if it rains?"
"Don't they read permission slips or newsletters?" the
Girl Scout spouse exclaims!
Yes, their houses are neglected --- the Board of Health could
shut them down.
To many a leader's husband, the mear mention of Girl Scouts could
bring a frown.
She says that in
20 years- no one on earth will know or care,
For it man's existence is from dust to dust- you'll find one on
our unswept stair!
Being a part of leader's family brings with it a unique
lifestyle.
We pray at least a few young girls will nuture and grow to make
all of THIS worthwhile!
