Bracondale Avenue, Bolton So many bonny children,

So varied in their looks.

It's hard to choose a winner

From the photos that they took.

They belong to some proud parents,

And grandparents, too, I expect,

Who have entered this competition,

Trusting the readers of BEN will select

Their child, who is precious to them,

And beautiful in their eyes.

But we know there is only one winner,

Who'll be awarded the ultimate prize.
