I wish all my readers a very Happy New Year. Also, a warm and sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to the story in 2013. No doubt the Dedes will continue with their mischief in 2014. Although, they have been relatively quiet lately, I can hear them rustling in their cupboard.

Dear Dedes, a very happy new year 2014, may it bring all you wish for.
May the best you’ve ever seen,
Be the worst you’ll ever see.
May the mouse ne’er leave your girnal
Wi’ a tear drap in it’s e’e
May your lum keep blithely reekin’
Till ye’re auld enough to dee.
May you aye be just as happy.
As I’d like ye aye tae be
Tony
Thank you very much, Tony. It’s such a lovely poem. I’ve learnt a few Scottish words here. It’s amazing what you can look up on Wikipedia.
I too wish you all the best and thank so so much for all your contributions. I hope you will continue to enjoy the Dedes :)
