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?
The year is turning, the cycle
Has made another
revolution
It’s time
once more to make
The obligatory
resolution
Which is
broken within days
But this
year I have a solution
In order to
make it last
I will not
make a resolution
My New Year resolution
Was to find
a solution
To my
misshapen figure
And lack of
vim and vigour
Though feeling
rather grim
I signed up
for the gym
First came
the orientation
And
equipment demonstration
I was told
of suitable clothes
Something
loose that flows
I said “the
reason or the point
Of me being
in this joint
And why I
signed up tonight
Is all my
clothes are tight”
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
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;
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
Lies that
we tell one another
And are
something that go in
One year
and out the other
