I Love the way Have Your Say
Travels far and wide
So many places in England
It’s been taken on a ride

In a car or through the post
Well received by its host
Too many Towns and Cities to name
Thank you readers you’ve given it fame!

Letters arriving daily
Tell us where it has been
A much wider audience
That we could ever dream

Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
South Africa, and the U.S of A.
Are some of the countries overseas
Whose writers say they’re well Pleased

Bringing to them memories of “home”
Of early years before they’d roamed
Giving us all such pleasure
Sharing memories that they still treasure

So here’s grateful Thanks, for you today
Especially for readers of Have Your Say
Passed on to you from all the team
Of this LITTLE? LOCAL? magazine!
