looking for volunteer poems

I'm looking for some poems that talk about volunteers & volunteering. They
don't have to be specifically Scouting orientated because this is for a
school volunteer group. I checked the archives and only found one (printed
below). Does anyone know of any other?
Thanks.
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.
No library duty or bulletin assembly,
There will be nothing to print and staple,
Not one thing to fold and mail,
Telephone list 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 they're worth?"
Why, all those who reaped the benefits,
And not once volunteered on Earth.
