I had wondered whether Amos was going to turn up here, but I gather he may have been delayed by some birthday related activities. So I'm pleased to dedicate the following verses as a belated birthday tribute to Mudcat's Premier Laureate.

An Exhortation to Improve Community Relationships and to Raise Civic Standards

You Seniors of Norwin High,
All gathered here before me;
I'm going to show you how and why,
Your blood is needed sorely.

Rise up! Rise up!
And with me say;
I'm going to save
A life today!

In hospitals the surgical ward
And field medevac stations;
Urgently all need your blood
For life-saving operations.

Rise up! Rise up!
And with me say;
I'm going to save
A life today!

So give your blood, don't stand alone,
Follow this next demonstration;
The life you save could be your own,
You will not need much persuasion.

Rise up! Rise up!
And with me say;
I'm going to save
A life today!

In your hands lies a gift today,
You hold the future therein;
So grasp it firmly while you may,
Do your civic duty for Norwin!

Rise up! Rise up!
And with me say;
I'm going to save make
A life today!

Matthew Edwards

I am sure that nobody who is pure in heart and thought could possibly find anything at all offensive in this.
