‘Twas the night before Christmas
And dark across town,
As Mistress and Cynth
With a brew, settled down.
By the flickering firelight
They sat on the floor,
And chatted about
The year gone before.
Old friends were welcomed –
To new heights they rose;
Newbies and Hirers
Tried dipping their toes.
As the year closes
It’s time for a break;
After which I’ll return
My pleasures to take.
In the spirit of Christmas
I send you my “best”,
And hope you’ll continue
Your limits to test.
You willingly let
Me practice my art
In so many ways –
Sincere thanks – from my heart.
To those who’ve not yet
Had chance to explore;
Just pay us a visit
And see what’s in store.
But, heed and be warned
As you pass through my door –
Remember – be careful
Just what you wish for!
