'Twas the day before the day before holiday break
 And all through Dal's halls
 Those who were left were, indeed, stirring,
 Shouting: "The Carol Sing calls!"
 
 They rushed to the Arts Centre
 Lyric sheets printed white
 To sing all their favourites
 From “Rudolph” to “Silent Night”
 
 President Florizone’s “jokes”
 Silly puns seeking laughter
 Garnered guffaws and groans
 From the Sculpture Court’s rafters
 
 The singing was led
 By the Fountain School’s (Jacqueline) Warwick
 Who sprinkled her intros
 With song facts historic
 
 Lynette (Wahlstrom) played the keys
 While car keys in the crowd jingled
 Makeshift Christmas bells
 Truly worthy of Kris Kringle
 
 When the songs were all sung
 And door prizes awarded
 With chowder and nog
 The crowd’s chorus was rewarded

 Captured all the sights
 Merry Christmas — and happy holidays! — to all
 And to all a goodnight
A fa‑la‑la‑la‑la farewell to 2018
