An Ode to Geezers
Posted by: root <root@...>
"Geezers" are easy to spot; this is slang for an old man.
But at sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, they hold
their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the
words and believe in them.
They remember World War I, the Depression, World War II, Pearl Harbor,
Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean
War,
The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing, not to mention Vietnam.
If you bump into a "Geezer" on the sidewalk, he'll apologize, pass one on a
street and he'll nod, or tip his hat to a lady. "Geezers" trust strangers and
are courtly to women. They hold the door for the next person and always when
walking, make sure the lady is on the inside for protection.
"Geezers" get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and
they don't like violence and filth on TV and in movies. Geezers have moral
courage. Geezers seldom brag unless its about the grandchildren in Little
League or music recitals.
This country needs "Geezers" with their decent values and common sense. We
need
them now more than ever. It's the "Geezers: who know our great country is
protected, not by politicians or police, but by the young men and women in the
military serving their country in foreign lands, just as they did, without a
thought except to do a good job, the best you can and to get home to loved
ones.
THANK GOD for "OLD GEEZERS".
