A Call to all Poets

READERS WERE OFFERED the opportunity to add another verse to that old favourite I'm dreaming of a White Christmas, with the enviable chance of having it premiered at the Village Hall Carol Singing. Here's one hopeful entry from Skye:

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

With holly and some mistletoe.

Whilst Christmas trees get dearer,

As Christmas Day gets nearer

Snow still is both cheap and white; so--

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

With every mince pie that I bite.

May your pastries turn out sweet and light,

And may all your Christmas cakes be white.
