Across the Fence: An Ending

December 25, 2020 By Susanne Bacon 2 Comments

As this is the last weekend The Suburban Times is published in 2020, I wish to thank the readers who bore so kindly with me this year and commented so wonderfully. For once, I thought on a festive occasion like this, a poem – in this case, a sonnet – might be an appropriate response.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all of us!

Yours truly,

Susanne Bacon
