I Know a Volunteer

I know a volunteer who swallowed white flies. He was trying to tease, by swallowing flies! That's one of those foods I'm still chicken to try...

I know a volunteer who ate up some fish. She had it prepared as a local dish, And told me later, it was rather delish!

I know a volunteer who had a rat. She heard it scurry across the mat, Then killed the rat with a mighty Splat! (It was me, in fact)

I know a volunteer who found a cat. It came too late to catch the rat, So it stole some bread - imagine that!

I know a volunteer who heard a dog. That dog could howl, like a boat in the fog, A howl that woke her, though she slept like a log.

I know a volunteer who would act like a goat, Bleating real crazy, with his eyes all afloat. I miss that guy; I should send him a note.

I know a volunteer who chased a bull. It had come in her house in the afternoon lull And eaten her soap - a half tub full!

I know a volunteer who never could sleep, At least not a sleep that was ever deep. So she sat up in bed and wrote out this rhyme To post on her blog and pass the time.

I wish they were tales, those lines you've just read, But it's all just as real as my comfortable bed!
