The competitions in the BEN,

Are there to do so get your pen.

You could be lucky just like me,

And win a year's supply of tea.

Cinema tickets, tickets to see Buddy,

Pots of marmalade and some money.

Every evening I read the BEN,

And off I go with my trusty pen.

Doing every competition in sight,

Hoping that tonight's the night. By Mrs E Atkinson
