Emerging from the Office,
You’re supposed to wear a smile,
There’s one for everyone in there,
it’s kept upon your file.
You may not feel like smiling
but that’s beside the point,
your face will still produce one
if your nose is out of joint!!
We’ve met unhappy visitors
we know there’s awkward Staff, (Surely not! - Ed)
but Volunteers – don’t kid me!
You’re just trying to make me laugh!!
The Volunteers are perfect (Of course - Ed)
“For what?” I hear you say,
“For keeping tourists happy,
so they’ll come another day.”
“Pointing Tourists to the Tower,
or the Café and the Loos,
explaining what they’ve come to see
plus all the DON’Ts and DO’s.”
A Volunteer must smile,
it may just keep him sane,
what can he do when “got at”?
Grit his teeth and smile again!!
