Poetry Competition!

We invited entries to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The winning entry is shown below:

 

KEEP YOUR PET

 

Kitten, Cat, Dog, Rabbit, and many more
Each of us, will always keep you happy
Every day, a smile we see

Play with us and we will be your inspiration

 

You will never be sad for more than a moment
Our antics will cause you to smile
Up, down, over, under, attack the toy
Run the mad circuit, you will wonder what we’re doing

 

Perpetual movement, that’s us during the day
Evening a time to settle down beside you
Tomorrow we start again

 

The winning poem will be published in Your Local Link magazine and may be read out on Radio York. The winner will also receive a £20.00 voucher prize.
