The Sutton Games
Community, the Sutton Games,
Inspiration and fun inflames.
Non – commercial with Buddy Bear,
The Games’ mascot for us to share;
Volunteers, corporate big names.
A true event with simple aims:
“Activites”, Buddy exclaims!
Sleeves rolled up, sports day, village fair:
Community.
“Try something new”, Buddy proclaims,
“Get active! Better than board games!”
Community, not solitaire,
In the gazebo thoroughfare
Sutton is photographed in frames.
Community.
Ian Henery
