Let’s all celebrate. We are now eight.
IT’S BIRTHDAY OF WDC : a pantoum


It’s birthday of WDC,
It has completed now years eight.
Much festivity I do see.
It is a day to celebrate.

It has completed now years eight.
This does truly make me so proud.
It is a day to celebrate,
Come one, come all, let’s form a crowd.

This does truly make me so proud,
It has fifty thousand members.
Come one, come all, let’s form a crowd,
Let’s sing and dance in large numbers.


It has fifty thousand members.
They are creative beyond doubt.
Let’s sing and dance in large numbers.
Let everywhere a new joy sprout.

They are creative beyond doubt,
That’s why this party’s a month long.
Let everywhere a new joy sprout,
Let’s write a new lyric or song.

That’s why this party’s a month long,
Much festivity I do see.
Let’s write a new lyric or song
It’s birthday of WDC.
