"Phone Tag and Emails"

Volunteering seems so easy to do,

But I've come to find this is fare from true.

With so many people in need of aid,

I thought for sure I'd be quickly okay-ed. 

But once I sent in my application, 

There seemed to arrive a complication. 

I waited and waited but got no call, 

And when I called no one answered at all. 

I tried so many different days and times

Even three or four times a day sometimes.

And now I started to feel dejected, 

Thinking for sure I had been rejected. 

But then I got some really good advice, 

That I should now try another device. 

And what could it hurt to try something new, 

When I didn't know what else I could do?

So I decided to send an email, 

Thinking that it couldn't possibly fail.

While a phone call can be easily missed,

Emails can't so easily be dismissed. 

They sit in an inbox and calmly wait, 

Doesn't matter if it’s early or late. 

Now I waited to get a response back,

And when it came I was right back on track.

An appointment was scheduled quickly,

And the excitement made me feel sickly.

I couldn’t wait to go and volunteer,

Although it left me with some nervous fear.

My phone tag problem was easily solved,

When a simple email became involved.
