NO BOY SCOUT.

A BOY FAILS TO JOIN THE BOYSCOUTS.

Dick Morcraft said why

don’t you come to the

 

boy scouts tonight in the

church hall and learn how

 

to tie knots with ropes and

light fires with two sticks

 

and how to raise a tent and

in the summer we get to go

 

out in the wild countryside

and sleep under the night sky

 

and stars and canvas and sit

round the blazing campfire

 

singing songs together? and

you said all right and went

 

along but you got into a fight

with some fat kid who tried

 

to push you off the ropes and

so the scoutmaster sent you

 

off home and Morcraft said

next day you should have and

 

ignored the kid and stayed but

you couldn’t then and never did.
