ORDER OF THE GREEN
KNIGHT
His suits aren't made of armored steel
They're cotton, silk or tweed.
He makes his charge with credit card
Not on a snow-white steed.
His lance is just a ball-point pen,
No heralds cry his might,
And yet this steadfast Girl Scout man
Is a modern day great knight.
He aids us with our problems,
A helping hand he lends.
He's asked to do a hundred things
For girls and all their friends.
He loads his car, unloads his car,
Drives all around the town,
Plays errand boy and baby sitter,
Builds things and tears them down.
At busy times, he doesn't dine,
Just eats a frozen dinner,
The tied up phone is not his own --
In patience he's a winner.
This man freely gives his time,
And never does complain
That he is being pushed around;
He loves it all the same.
So, Girl Scouts raise the symbolic sword,
With touch both deft and light,
Tap these faithful shoulders and
Dub this man "Green Knight".
