I need a good Boy Scout

One who is good with his hands

One who can make fire from

Nothing

Make a spark without

A flint

Just a match

Of two


I need a good Boy Scout

One who can fashion

A fine knot

Not to be untied

Binding us together like

Steel cables

And fine silks

Limbs intertwined


I need a good Boy Scout

Who can find the way

The way to keep me

Nourished

Fed with gentle hands

I would drink from his

Cupped hands

His hands would wash me


I need a good Boy Scout

Who can survive an

Apocalypse

Be the last man on

Earth

It only takes one

The right one

To sustain the fire

Ging gang gooly, that sure was swell.

Good one
