COMPETITION

No 640: Decirhymes

Set by Joyce Johnson: Decimal Day is almost upon us. In an attempt to prevent the confusion which many predict, competitors are asked to compose mnemonic Jingles (not more than sixteen lines) to help in the change-over to decimal currency. Entries, marked 'Competition No 640,' by 5 February or the Friday following the resumption of letter post, whichever is the later date.
