2011 Christmas Party

T’was 19 days before Christmas a dinner planned by committee

The Edmonton Club dripped in Yuletide décor so pretty

Dressed in holiday style

Which brought out a smile

It was Rotary Christmas time again in the City

After feasting on turkey, dressing and delights

Gift exchange time arrived to test our might

Our MC Heather

Kept us all a dither

On whether to keep our gifts or fight.

A toaster, fresh flowers and booze caused much noise

Amongst bidders who seemed to lose poise

Tho in the end

Most did bend

To trading their toys thus no friendships destroyed.

Most shopping now complete with no qualms,

To charity, we’ve given our alms.

No task left undone,

Christmas time has begun

Silent night, holy night, all is calm.

Now if we wait, we’d be remiss

In wishing good tidings for this

Holiday of lights

And a magical night

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
