Don't be fooled by the older brother who wants to trade your dimes for nickels because "the bigger ones are worth more"
AND
don't eat yellow snow, no matter what same older brother says about "special snowcones"

Volunteers
Many will be shocked to find,
When the day of judgement nears,
That there's a special place in Heaven
Set aside for volunteers.
Furnished with big recliners,
Satin Couches and footstools,
Where ther are no committee chairmen,
Nor yard sale or rest area coffee to serve.
No library duty or bulletin assembly,
There will be nothing to print and staple.
Not one thing to fold and mail,
Telephone lists will be outlawed.
But a finger snap will bring
Cool drinks and gourmet dinners
And rare treats fit for a king.
You ask,
Who'll serve these privileged few
And work for all the're worth?
Why, all those who reaped the benifits,
And not once volunteered on Earth.
