'Twas the night before Christmas, and in our puntastic tradition,
Here's Team Fergmeijer's annual Christmas column submission!
Not a Christmas goes by without our annual reflection,
So sit back and enjoy our fond recollection.
Last winter was the first for our rink’s brand new roof!
It made sure local skaters were more weatherproof’d.
It was a good year for turkeys, and other birds of a feather,
Including a rare visitor - the fine Meriweather.
New champions were crowned in the race to see cranes,
John and Paula were first, the officials proclaim!
When a building inspection threw a major curveball,
The township got out of it a new fire hall.
It was a crazy summer with fire bans and smoke,
Who knew what to expect each day when we woke?
Spontaneous dancing was expected to happen
When a new concert series kept our toes all a-tappin’.
The Museum presented a vintage photo exhibit
(We couldn’t pass on the chance to say “flibbertigibbet!”)
NorthWords and Jabbawong, with their focus on stories,
Showcased our township in all of its glories.
In August, a beach movie brought relief from our stresses
With a tale of true love and some R.O.U.S’s
And what would a summer be without a sighting of Steve?
We are the biggest Paikin fans, after all (we believe).
The Park Centre continued to welcome the masses
With feasts, markets, workshops, and many dance classes
New mailboxes arrived all shiny and sturdy,
Atop concrete pedestals, they sure do look purdy.
Work finally finished on replacing the foot bridge,
Are we excited? We just don’t have the verbiage!
Looking back on the year is always such a treat,
And with these rhyming couplets, our retrospection’s complete.
From Kagawong’s self-appointed laureates of pun.
Merry Christmas Kagawongians, each and every one!
