Here comes the Girl Scout Cookies proud and clear-
We look for their bright packaging, each and every year.
.
Peanut Butter Patties, Shout-Outs, and Thanks-A-Lot-
A delicious variety is what the Girl Scouts have got.
.
Savannah Smiles, Duke de Leche, and the Peanut
Butter Sandwich-
Out to get my order, in front, of the local grocery store,
without a hitch.
.
Caramel deLites, Lemonades, and Thank U Berry Munch-
The perfect addition, to highlight that everyday lunch.
.
And, let’s not forget the Thin Mints, and Shortbread-
Girl Scout Cookie sales are a coming, full steam ahead.
.
Back on March 12th, almost one hundred years ago-
The Girl Scouts began, and has continued to grow.
.
In Savannah, Georgia, is where it began-
With 18 girls, readily on hand.
.
The plans had been laid-
To hike, to play basketball, and to study
that first aid.
.
Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low, believed that it
should be –
For all girls to be given the opportunity to develop
physically, mentally, and spiritually.
.
No more isolation at home, for these girls-
For they stepped out together, and discovered
much detail, about this big wide world.
.
Now back to those Girl Scout Cookies that will soon
be sold about-
Especially, in East Montgomery County, for it is always
the highlight, of the year, no doubt..
.
Not all of the cookies above are sold in every part, of the
country-
With two hired bakers, that is just the way it turns out to be.
.
To get ready, with a favorite list, of course-
The Girl Scouts are coming, they will be out in full force.
.
Here comes the Girl Scout Cookies, proud and clear-
We look for their bright packaging, each and every year.
