My New Title

I've been dubbed. I am a knight! I just don't know what I've done to deserve the honor.

Could it be my many patient hours of staring out the window on sentry duty?

Or was it my non-stop efforts to maintain the pristine condition of the swimming pool?

Perhaps it was my time on lifeguard duty,

My ability to mediate family disputes,

Or the way I help out with household chores like making the bed.

Maybe it's just my attention to personal hygiene,

Or my ability to trap bats.

Whatever the reason, I now have a title to go alongside my school diploma.

But there's something else I don't understand. 

Why, oh why was I dubbed Sir Barksalot??
