The Cumnock poem,

Is about to begin

So open your minds,

And let the experience in

What a team we had this year

One to make god proud

We welcomed in the children

And entertained the crowd

Playing board games and cards

Is what we liked to do

With action packed hall games

Football and dodge-ball too

Now not all hung on playing

There was plenty work around

Like preparing for mealtimes

And odd jobs abound

With elbows on the tables

Forfeits could appear

That’s more than the sweets

Could say, they would disappear

What does this mean?

A kidnapper you say

The sweets they were captured

But could the ransom pay?

The leaders weren’t for giving in

So on the torture went

An escape plan was formed

And plenty letters sent

What could be worse than this

I hear the audience ask

Spam at every mealtime

Not a pleasant task

This meat appeared on Tuesday

And wouldn’t go away

Till in the bin it went

It just couldn’t stay

Now onto teatime forfeits

Ballet dancing was a treat

With Iain and Phil the best

The laughter was just so sweet

On his little visit

BSBG could be found

Drying people’s hair

Our new hairdresser he should be crowned

Within the team was madness

At the manse as well as the hall

With boys downstairs and girls up

Pranks were played on all

Red light bulbs passed between floors

And doors tied together

Hiding the girls sleeping bags

Really wasn’t clever

A concert on Saturday

Was made to end the week

With poems, songs and dancing

And a panto that wasn’t bleak

The panto we just wung it

Making it up as we went along

Entertaining the helpers

That made us feel we belong

So a week of summer mission madness

Was surely had by all

We kept on going through it

And kept our heads up tall

Helping the kids in their search for god

And strengthening our own

Time and effort was taken

And friendship and love was shown
