December 7, 2021 Christmas Party

Poem adapted from the original by Jill Noakes 

‘Twas the first week in December and all through Navan town 
Excitement was building because a party was going down

The ladies were gathered at Castello’s with care,
Knowing that our souvlaki soon would be there.

Our proof of vaccines we were ready to show,
As we came in the restaurant out of the snow.

The tables were set, and the drinks were all poured
The mood was so happy—there was no discord.    

When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter
That Eli sprung up to see what was the matter 

He took a quick look to be sure all was fine
And be certain that no one had stolen the wine 

Just to be sure, he did a head count
To ensure that the ladies were all still about

He saw Esther and Doreen; Paulette and Karen
He saw Mary and Anne-Marie and Linda and Erin

There was Pamela and Jill; Barbara and Trudy
There was Eve and Lorraine and Mrs. Claus and Joanie

Now here we are gathered on this Tuesday night
To bask in our friendships’ circle bright

So let’s all join together to remember this sight
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
