'OLD
GEEZERS'
'Old Geezer' is Australian slang for an old
man... and 'Old Geezers' are easy to spot.
At a sporting event during the playing of
the National Anthem, they will 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 Harbour, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler.
They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean
War, the Cold War, the Jet Age, the Moon Landing and Vietnam.
If you bump into an 'Old Geezer' on the
footpath, he will apologise.
Pass an 'Old Geezer' on the street and he
will nod, or tip his hat to a lady.
'Old Geezers' trust strangers and are
courteous to women. They hold the door open for the next person and always when
walking, make sure the lady is on the inside for protection.
'Old Geezers' get embarrassed if someone
uses bad language in front of women and children, and they don't like violence
and filth on TV or in movies.
'Old Geezers' have moral courage.
'Old Geezers' seldom brag… unless it is
about their grandchildren in little league or music recitals.
This country needs more 'Old Geezers' with
their decent values and common sense. We need them now more than ever.
'Old Geezers' know our great country is
protected not by the party politicians, but by the young men and women in our
Defence Forces who are serving their country in foreign lands, just as they did,
without a thought except to do a good job, the best they can… and to return
home to their loved ones.
Each and every one of us should thank God
for 'Old Geezers'.
