Expedition Europe…A Poem
‘Twas the night before Europe
And all through the town,
All the Scouters were panicking
Not one had laid down!
All the bags were packed,
Left in the church with care
In hopes that nothing
Would be forgotten there
The Scouts were all nestled
Snug in their beds
With visions of the Eiffel tower
Dancing in their heads
The morning arrived
All lovely and bright
Not a single Scouter
Had slept through the night!
Down in the parking lot
While waiting for the bus
All of a sudden from no where
There rose such a fuss!
“I don’t want to leave home!
I’ll miss you so bad!”
Said one little Scout to
His mom and his dad.
“Don’t worry, you’ll go
And be happy!
Now get on that bus!
And make it snappy!”
When everyone was loaded
Who boarded all bossy?
It was Scouter Jason
Holding a coffee!
He checked all the passports
And I.d. With a tick
And then nodded to the driver
“Close those doors, quick!”
More rapid than eagles
In those doors came
And he whistled and shouted
And called out by name
“Now Dan! Now Gerry!
Now Lawrence and Amanda!
Now Tracey! Now Erica
And the amazing Rhonda!”
His arms swung around
Spilling coffee with the gesture
“Let’s go! Step on the gas!
Bring on the Adventure!!”
