It’s Donut Day!
THE moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived.
Today is International Donut Day and we are proud to announce the winner of our wildly popular Donut Ditty competition.
Jenny Piper makes the official announcement in a new video at traveldaily.com.au/videos, with more info on page five.
MEANWHILE the tenth episode of Travel Daily’s News on the Fly podcast dropped overnight, and can now be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or directly online at traveldaily.com.au/podcasts.
WELL the day has finally come, today is officially International Donut Day which means it’s the much-anticipated time to announce the winner of our donut ditties competition.
The Travel Daily team has been thoroughly entertained by the excellent entries over the past month, clearly there’s a lot of creativity in the travel industry.
The winner was determined by the whole TD team, with two points awarded to each person’s favourite poem and one point for their runner-up.
Those results were tabulated and a clear winner emerged - congratulations to Marilyn Brown from Reho Travel!
Her poem is in orange, but we’ve also included the finalists.
Marilyn will receive a special delivery of delightful donut treats for taking out the grand prize.
If you have any other ideas of competitions to keep the spirits of the travel industry up, please send your suggestions to info@ traveldaily.com.au and make sure you enjoy a donut or a dozen today.
My favourite treat is
something sweet, With many sprinkles, no lines or wrinkles and glossy overall.
To show my love of Donut Day, I’d eat mine and I’d eat yours.
Oh, sweet donuts you’re never a bore – you’re the only one I adore!
BUT I need to keep up bells, burpees and bops, so I don’t grow those muffin tops!

The time has come the agents said to speak of many things,
Of mask and gloves and germs and bugs and empty planes above
But all we know will soon be back and donuts they shall thrive,
To see them lined up all in a row with glaze and sprinkles wild.
As travel starts to bloom again
and coffees/teas abound, Those glorious plates of sweet, sweet rounds are once more to be found. Donuts pink and donuts white, chocolate, plain and green,
No matter what disguise they wear, they are here for to be seen.
As travel now will fill our days those donuts once more will shine,
And agencies around the land shall jump and clap and cheer.
For planes and trains and boats and cars are waiting now to hear, that donut loving travellers
are ready, set and near!
Marilyn Brown, Reho Travel
