Well here we are again
Driving everyone insane.
We always have a great time
Even though this time there is not nine.
Three girls proved they were strong,
Cause the log they brought back was long.
Fred had a go at tossing the caber,
He strained so hard we thought he was in labour.
Saturday night was our mystery dinner
Roger (Graham) was the sinner.
Barry was frustrated by Taboo,
The women won that game too.
We’ll be back next year that is for sure,
So that the men can try to even the score.
Hope you like our little rhyme
Next year we will return with nine.

We came to Banjo’s to have a good time
With lots of food and plenty of wine.
We stoked the fire and rode the cart
We had plum pudding but no apple tart.
For Christmas was what we had in June,
The time to go came all too soon.
We all enjoyed and had so much fun
We will all be back for more games in the sun.

There’s a track winding back
To a well appointed shack
Along the road to Amiens
Where the gum trees are growing
And much red wine is flowing
And laughter never ends
Till one more we must roam
For we sadly must go home
Along the road to Amienstop of page
