December 19th
Made fruit salad before heading off for our choir Christmas entertainment and buffet. First we had the post mortem of our concert performance which was as expected. The entertainment consisted of seasonal readings , poems and songs performed by anyone brave enough to volunteer! The majority of which were very funny and had us all laughing and in festive mood. My poem was received fairly well, of which an excerpt here.
An ode to the choir
On thursday mornings, half past ten we meet
and all our friends are there for us to greet
the early birds set out the chairs by row
they know exactly where each one should go
.....
one liners fill the air when skills we lack
with repartee forthcoming from the back
the lively wit will always raise a smile
and cheer our spirits even for a while
some songs have power to raise us up so high
while haunting melodies can make us cry
the love of music is what brings us here
when voices blend, pure magic can appear
....
our repertoire is growing year on year
and all of us are happy to be here
to sing in choir is truly a delight
despite the fact our notes are not quite right.

Food was provided by each of us bringing a dish,from a list of who was bringing what ,with those unable to cook bringing a monetary contribution. A great selection of food,with good company.An ideal way to finish the choir year!!
