Don’t Volunteer at Your Kids’ School

Cave Book Club

The Book Fair is coming by hook or by crook.

Where students buy novelties instead of a book.

We’ll make lots of profit but books & not cash.

I’m so overwhelmed I’ve developed a rash!

The library’s busy, so the fair has no home!

The shelves are on wheels so the school we must roam.

I must contact the teachers to arrange class attendance.

We must avoid theft, so what? Build a fence?

I must talk to the club rep. ASAP

She prefers my predecessor & hates talking to me.

There’s so much to organise & I must do it quick.

But the closer it gets the more I feel sick.

I hate this new job & I think I hate books!

Damn my bibliophilia, getting me on these hooks!
