Celebrate!
Kiss your fella, kiss your gal,
Hug your children, slap your pal!
Tell the old year, “It’s been swell!”
Drop the ball and ring the bell.
Give the dog an extra bone,
Order take-out….bring it home.
As the calendar’s diminished,
Leave no this-year’s-work unfinished.
Not that twenty-one was great:
But that New Years crave clean slates.
Make sure that twenty-one’s been spent…
Stay up…just make sure it went!
Baby New Year dropped by stork…
Welcomed in by popping cork.
Kiss your girlfriend, kiss your guy…
Tell twenty-one a firm “Good-bye!”
Don’t let the new kid pull a fast one,
Hope he’s better than the last one.
No more angry, fractured nation…
Overdosed on covidation.
Too much media hype and hooting…
Get your noise-makers a-tooting!
Lift your glass and raise a toast
With those you love and care for most:
Here’s to shining, happy faces…
Memories and peaceful places…
Here’s to tomorrow yet unsealed,
It’s mysteries soon to be revealed…
Salut!….And now I bid you take it…
Each New Year is what we make it.
