Old Crows

I taught the RS lesson today.  It was on a conference address by Boyd K. Packer called Counsel to Youth.  It was a great talk, very hopeful.  I just wasn't teaching any youth.  The talk will be remembered by the Old Crow poem that he recited.  I guess the women in RS fit into the old crow category.  Here's the poem:

The old crow is getting slow.
The young crow is not.
Of what the young crow does not know 
The old crow knows a lot.


At knowing things the old crow
Is still the young crow's master.
What does the slow old crow not know?
--How to go faster.


The young crow flies above, below,
And rings around the slow old crow.
What does the fast young crow not know?
--Where to go.
