Cub Woodbadge Course - Campfire item 3/6/1967 (With apologies to Stanley Holloway) Now you’ve heard about a place called Blackpool Whats noted for fresh air and fun Where lion ate youngen called Albert Before ought could be done. Here we've a place called Matopos With granite and rivers and all Tis perfect for Scouting and Cubbing Provided you’re trained not to fall. Naomi and team got together To teach some Cubbers the drill They didn’t think much of Bulawayo So they took them over the hill. The Cubbers they paid their expenses And took bus out to Gordon Park Where there’s leopards and sable and Monkeys And old Scouters just lazing about. Theres one old Scouter called Knapman Who’s in charge of the Park His knees are all covered with wrinkles And his bite is far less than his bark. Skipper took Cubbers on tour of inspection He went thro’ the Park at great pace Some Cubbers were right proper winded And others were pale in the face. He gave his instructions in detail And warned "don’t loiter around" Young Stewart did not heed instructions And parked Bus on training ground. Old Skipper who saw the occurance And got right proper vexed Thought quite belligerently What will these Cubbers do next. He bellowed across from verandah At which young Stewart took fright He jumped into bus and reversed it From there to clear out of sight. Now Cubbers had tunred a bit awkward When they saw where their bus had gone And said "who’ll carry the baggage" So that was decided upon. Young Stewart he carried all baggage He puffed and thought what a lark It’s just as well Old Skipper Don't know what goes on after dark. At Campfire team sat all attentive The Cubbers were sitting around The thoughts in their minds can’t be printed Most evil and bitter I’ll be bound. Now Black Six turned up with their camera A picture of team to record With a flash and a bang it exploded And scattered the team all abroad. Old Skipper gave his opinion That Cubbers be failed en block Then hastily retired And sat atop Gordon Park Rock. Acknowledgements: Kindly sent in by Dave Anderson. |
