[BITList] Old Geezers!!

[John Feltham]

Not many old geezers around now in Australia who remember the first  
World War.









OLD GEEZERS



'Geezers' (slang for an old man) are easy to spot:
At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem,
Old Geezers remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without  
embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.


Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression, World War II,
Dieppe, the liberation of Italy, Normandy, D-Day, liberation of  
Holland, Mussolini, Tojo and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age,
the Korean War 1950-53-55, The Cold War, the Vietnam War,
the jet age, the Spitfire, the moon landing the 50 plus Peacekeeping
Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention the liberation of Kuwait,  
Sarajevo and Afghanistan.


If you bump into an Old Geezer on the footpath, he will apologize.
If you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap
to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are courtly to women.
Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when
walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone swears in front of women
and children and they don't like any filth on TV or in movies.

Old Geezers have moral courage. They seldom brag unless it's
about their grandchildren.

It's the Old Geezers who know our great country is protected,
not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the military  
serving their country.

This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values.
We need them now more than ever.

Thank God for Old Geezers!
Pass this on to all the Old Geezers you know.



ooroo

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
