With apologies to our Ptim,a little recitation called

I KNOW' COS I WAS THERE

They came from near,they came from far
By train and bus,by bike and car
Some stayed three days,some only one
But united were they all in fun
From north and south ,from east and west
On pilgrimage to Wadfest

From setting up their homes from home
Around the camp they now did roam
To seek out friends,to meet with glee
To decide on which festivity
To start upon the murder quest
Lots to do at Wadfest

Costume choice might be a hassle
Remember 'Don't go near the castle'
For Vampyres bold are here tonight
And Witches sally forth in flight
Those corsets! will they stand the test/
And uplift all at Wadfest

Tiny people came as well
To laugh and shout and scream and yell
And run back to their parents side
From scary Dwarfs and Trolls to hide
Then finally to take their rest
All snuggled up at Wadfest

Bernard the Stout brought LBE's
And Mr Wakefield fine jewellry
Pictures and trinkets bright and funny
To part you from your hard earned money
And Terry came,our favorite guest
To charm us all at Wadfest

Cara and AJ and their mums
Some say that they felt young men's' bums
The Nac Mac Feegle..in various sizes
And the Luggage painted with devices
Of different hues that raced with zest
Across the grass at Wadfest

Of all who dressed as Witch or Vamp
As Wizard or Watch who roamed the camp
The one who made all the girls go ooooh!
Was Vimesey painted all in blue
There was no doubt he was the best
Masquerade at Wadfest

So thanks to Waddy and Unohoo
TP and Bernard and the rest of the crew
To all in costume who graced the event
And came for fun was their intent
We all made friends and were impressed
By the 2005 Wadfest

But do I hear that Waddy now strives
With next years event to brighten our lives
To arrive in lightning and in thunder
Twill be the theme of a land down under
For every one no age or sex
Will keep them from Wadfest XXXX
