OLD YEARS NIGHT

 

My wife is an optimist

Which is why, she stays up

On New Year’s Eve

To see in the new one

 

I am by nature a pessimist

Which means, that I stay up

On New Year’s Eve

To make sure the old one has gone

FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT

 

I want to kiss you

On December 31st

Before the clock strikes twelve

Until the last chime

Echoes in the night

Of January the first

So, one year will come to an end

In the most amazing way

And the next will have

A beautiful beginning

THIS YEAR’S NEW YEAR’S EVE FORECAST;

 

This year’s New Year’s Eve forecast;

A row with the girlfriend, acute loneliness

Followed by being mostly drunk with

A very slight chance of unconsciousness

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS ARE JUST

 

New Year’s resolutions are just

Lies that we tell one another

And are something that go in

One year and out the other

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 328

 

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of rye

Its two and a half p now

But that doesn’t rhyme

ARE YOU WEARING BLACK TINSEL?

 

Are you wearing black tinsel?

Tied amidst your lustrous curls

Well, you must either be a Grinch

Or you’re a very wicked girl

IS SANTA CLAUS REALLY A WOMAN # 7

 

Is Santa Claus really a woman?

Well surely its self-evident

It takes a great deal of effort

To achieve the necessary merriment

And no man is capable

Of that level of commitment
