Thought I would put in my two penneth...well the Obby thought it was good enough to print.

Folk write to the “Obby”, and sometimes wax lyrical.
Sometimes serious, sometimes satirical.
I thought I would add to this poetic trend
As I have a short while to lazily spend

It’s the only newspaper I don’t read online.
Good value, methinks, the price is just fine
To catch up with news, be it good or bad
And hear people’s moans, and what makes them mad.

Nice to know about hatches and matches
But makes you sad to read the “dispatches”
Area news from Clayton to Bash
Words from our councillors when they clash

Honeys and hunks, and beautiful tots
Voting for the best snapshots
What’s on & when, & historical news
(All in my life time now, gives me the blues)

The office will shut, so sad for some staff.
I wish them well in their next chosen path.
Hope the Obby will remain just as local
Giving us all a chance to be vocal
