Five years have passed, how time raced along,

Our parish social is still going strong.

Our getting together in the nicest way,

For some lonely soul it can make a day.

A grand cup of tea, a chance for a chat,

What after all is better than that?

Raising some cash towards your own church,

Without it dear father is left in the lurch.

There's so much fun when playing bingo,

If you win too often, oh by jingo.

It's a false call, there is a doubt,

Then up will go a mighty shout.

Yet everyone's pleased the effort survived,

It's added some zest to most of our lives.

So thanks to helpers who give of their best,

Long may St Edmund's, our parish, be blessed.

Best wishes to all concerned
