The Order Of The Great 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-pint pen,
No heralds cry his might,
And yet this Girl Scout spouse is
A modern day great knight.
He aids young damsels in distress,
A helping hand he lends.
He's asked to do a hundred things
For wife and her friends.
He loads his car, unloads his car,
Drives all around the town,
Plays errand boy and baby nurse,
Builds things and tears them down.
At busy times, he doesn't dine,
Just eats a TV dinner,
The tied-up phone is not his own -
In patience,he's a winner.
This husband, father gives his time,
And though he might complain,
That he is being pushed around,
He loves it just the same.
So, Girl Scouts raise the symbolic sword,
With touch both deft and light,
Tap all these faithful shoulders and
Dub this man "Green Knight".
