Full of lots of our local news

Old photographs and the readers' views

Telling us who's born, married or died

Delivered to houses in the Forest wide

Each we find put though our doors

Our free Forest Review there or in stores

Houses, motors, adverts and sport

Are just some of the things you report

Our traditions you value as we do

Allowing our opinions to be aired to you

The diversity of the Forest Review

Is the enjoyment I get from reading you

I look forward to when each issue is due

To read the words of your Forest brew

The pen is mightier than the sword they say

And you are the type that makes my day.
