IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS: Happy New Year!

With the New Year soon approaching, I wanted to share a poem I wrote a few years ago that sums up how I feel at the end of every year.  I'm not going to go on and on telling you what the poem is about, so I'm just going to let you read it.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

IN REVIEW

Happy New Year!

Let old acquaintance be forgot

In fact, let it vanish from the minds

As we make our resolutions…

And then break our resolutions,

We celebrate the men with dreams,

And inaugurate the elected (not selected),

After Phil sees a shadow,

Past leaders become a sales weekend,

Hearts become candies and cards,

We kiss the irish (and pinch the non-irish),

Hunt for the eggs and pay the government,

Embrace our mothers and remember the fallen,

Finish school and re-gift our fathers,

Watch the fireworks and complete the vacation,

Celebrate labor (by not laboring) and go back to school,

Become patriots and trick for the treat,

Elect the leaders and remember more soldiers,

Consume the turkey and purchase the gifts,

(Light the menorah, if applicable)

Decorate the tree and visit family,

Then think back on the past year,

Then drink the champagne,

Then kiss at the stroke of 12,

Then make our resolutions and…

Happy New Year!

Let old acquaintance be forgot

And so on…And so on…And so on…

HAVE A

HAPPY NEW YEAR

EVERYONE!!!
