If you stand on Bastona’s verandah
\nYou can see the roof tops of Elanda,
\nThe sun is bright, the sky is blue
\nAnd there is fun for everyone, and you.<\/p>\n
For fourteen days and fourteen nights
\nWe’ve got the ego mix to rights,
\nAnd joining together in laughter and play
\nWe’ve all had a super holiday.<\/p>\n
There’s Granny, Omalein and Grumps
\nThe older generation who’ve turned up trumps,
\nWith Julie and John, Cliff and Lynn,
\npeople to put your confidence in.
\nAnd Pat and Linie, young and fair,
\nNo party complete without them there;
\nThe middle range, and not one off key
\nThey gave their all at karaoke.<\/p>\n
Andrew and William, young stagers we feel,
\nReady for anything, if that means a meal.
\nChristopher joins them, ready for fun
\nAnd before long a game of chess has begun.<\/p>\n
Two Christmas angels the number swells
\nBut now they’re posing as bathing belles.
\nOlga and Mariano have come, bearing good cheer
\nAnd then it’s back home tomorrow – oh dear.<\/p>\n
It’s been a fortnight of magic
\nAnd as we gather to dine
\nWe all join together
\nRaising glasses of wine
\nTo thank one another
\nAnd Omalein.<\/p>\n
