An ode to town’s Christmas lights
LIGHTS of Battle
Just before November ends
Valiant bands of volunteers,
Ladders readily ascend,
Hanging lights of joy and cheer.
How this ancient market town
Lends itself to festive times
Dickens costumes,
Warm mulled wine.
Late night shopping, gifts to buy
Carol singing, hot mince pies.
So come, enjoy the wondrous sights
Of Battle’s twinkling Christmas lights.
