George Washington and Lord Baden-Powell, founder of Scouts

Shared one thing in common - they were revered as all get-out 

For they did marvelous things with their lives to be remembered

Forever, and will always be honored on this their birthday rendered



One for fathering a country by commanding an army in revolution

And the other by fathering a fantastic movement providing solutions

For boys and girls all over the world to unite with a common bond

To make life better for everyone no matter how weak or how strong



A common denominator which deserves much recognition on this day

For both shared idealistic visions, then proceeded to have their way 

And so now we can look back with awe at their accomplishments

Remembering, and honoring them both with many compliments ...
