Read All About It!

Phone the daily tabloids; get them holding the front page,

To celebrate the birthday of a rag that's all the rage.

For gossip, news and funnies this sheet really is the most.

To what do I refer? Of course! The h2g2 Post!

Its worldwide correspondents have their ears close to the ground

In ev'ry global city where the Internet is found.

From Tana in Jerusalem to Loony in EnnZed,

Life-changing to light-hearted, all with equal keenness read.

Swiv led us on safari through the African terrain;

We learnt about Cambodia, with help from Down My Lane;

OB1 in Denmark told us of his Knordic home;

And Pseudemys - or Reinhard - would be guaranteed to roam.

The Presidential race was covered thoroughly but fair,

Each candidate allowed his or her policies to air.

One question we may never know the answer to for sure:

Was Celery behind the fell attack on Demon Drawer?

Shorty came to tell us what good stuff had been released;

Fragilis was watching as the queue shrank or increased.

Monsy ran her 1-2-1s where we would get to meet

The movers and the shakers and the people on the street.

Real h2g2 life for some was as Wowbagger drew;

For others it was beer and softball. For the lucky few,

Romance - Shazz falling for the flannel of the Towel man:

And how we cooed at pictures of when Pastey married Anne!

The ball was started rolling by the Vegiman, they say

Then Shazz and Pastey built the vibrant organ of today.

Now for reporting honestly, without favour or fear,

We hail the h2g2 Post - a stunning debut year!
