IT’S SUCH A MILD NEW YEAR

 

It’s such a mild New Year

All the birds are singing noisily

Noisy little bastards

Should be frozen to a tree

MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

 

My New Year’s resolution

And my reasoning is sound

And that is to get in shape,

In the end, I chose round

I HATE JANUARY

 

I hate January

January, I do not enjoy

It has no pleasure

It has no joy

 

Christmas is over

All the money has gone

5 weeks till payday

January is wrong

 

I love December

December has it all

December is the time

To have a ball

 

In fact December

Has to much fun

And not enough time

To get it all done

 

The Festivities

Leave us in a daze

There is too much

For 31 days

 

So the solution

Is a simple one

I can’t believe

It hasn’t been done

 

Get rid of January

No one likes it

Have two Decembers

Then everything will fit

JANUARY BLUES

 

I hate the month of January

Every single day from New Years day

To the 31st day

I hate the month of January

With every fibre of my being

You may say it’s just the January blues

That colours my views        

But it’s much deeper than that.

It’s always such a long depressing month

With dreary weather and miserable people

It’s the inevitable aftermath

That follows a joyful Christmas

Its going back to work to the same depressing job

You so happily left behind you on Christmas Eve

It’s the empty bank account

And the look ahead at the five long weeks till payday

Its New Years resolutions and not keeping them

I hate the month of January

From day one, new years day

With it’s reminder of things to come

Another bloody awful year ahead

January fills me with dread

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS LOVE STORY (2012)

 

Family friends Sam Reed (Dustin Milligan) and Kat Patton (Danica McKellar) spend every Christmas Eve at the Children's Table from the age of three.

Over the years they grew up together, sharing the highs and lows of young adulthood.

But at the age of thirty, Sam realizes that Kat is the one...but he's afraid that the past will get in the way.

A real gem of a Christmas movie and Danica McKellar is an absolute delight.

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES

 

When the clock strikes

The midnight hour

One year ends

And another begins

With an explosion

Of pyrotechnic splendour

Lavishly ostentatious

Many thousands of pounds

Up in smoke

Is it really worth it?

Would it not be better spent?

On the homeless

And the lost

And so begin a new year

With new hope

NEW YEARS PICKUP # 1

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

On New Year’s Eve

Before the bells begin to clang

Ask her if she wants to

Ring in the New Year with a bang?
