Dear Sally, may I have your permission to use this poem on the 5th Jan 2007,
please? I run a group called the Golden Pear poetry reading groupand we're
meeting that day to have some final Christmas fun rearranging this very
poem. I have a wonderful pop-up book of the 12 Days of Christmas which I
keep for my grand-daughter's delight, but the group too are going to have a
look at it. It's nearly the last of the 12 days on the 5th, and it's by way
of a Christmas celebration, the last mince pies, the last mulled wine etc.
May the 4 crawling nerds never darken your doorstep!!
Happy Christmas,
Gill

Glad it made you laugh Gill I have a wicked sense of humour at times. I am
slightly deaf or dizzy what ever and sometimes mis hear what people are
saying so I exagerated this defect I have. Merry Christmas to you too Gill
and thanks for your good wishes. I would love a nice surprise. But not "four
crawling nerds." Take care Sally J
