When inflation hit cookies

 

Throughout the year

the law sure was tested

 

The Hipcheck16

An atheist balked

 

Traffic was snarled

roads made us berserk

 

 

We voted for Encore!

On American Idol

 

Residents’ fence heights

what a surprise!

 

Patch wouldn’t be the same

without news from you, too

Our readers provided —

for that we thank you

 

A skunk got trapped

A girl had a party

 

Cars caught on fire

A star trampolinist

went straight to the top

 

Your responses to comics

drew so much laughter

A mystery couple

 

So much more happened

but I've run out of time

Besides, it's not easy

to make all these rhymes!

 

None of us know

what the new year will bring

But one thing is certain

BG won't be boring!

 

Happy New Year, Buffalo Grove!
