Good Turn Mouse

This saucy creature is a mouse

Most mothers won't let one in the house

See, this one it has quite a tail,

Each Girl Scout made one without fail.

Take it with you and help all week,

and to do good turns you must seek

for every good turn that you do

tie a knot in the yarn...make quite a few.

Remember why each knot you tied

and how much to help you really tried

and then next time, please take your turn

to tell us all, so we can learn...

just what you did to help at home

a ready helper you have grown!
