No wonder my mom was always looking for AN OLD GEEZER! Now I
understand (always a little late, huh?)
AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE, IT SAYS TO PASS IT ON
TO ALL THE OLD GEEZERS YOU KNOW. I DISAGREE...
I SAY PASS IT ON TO ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE, TOO
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED IT MOST.
Old Geezers!!!!!??
"Geezers" (slang for an old man) are easy to spot:
At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem,
Old Geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without
embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them. Old
Geezers 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 an Old Geezer on the sidewalk, 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 curses 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 or police, 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. MAYBE the young
Geezers should read it twice!!
