I wanted to say, it would be a great injustice and a sorrowful loss if you were not to take part in the poetry event, an occasion, if I may say, Mr Parish, which has brought great enrichment to our town.
Quería decir, que sería una gran injusticia y una pérdida lamentable si no tomas parte en el certamen de poesía, una ocasión, si me permite decir, Sr. Parish, que ha traído gran enriquecimiento a nuestro pueblo.
