A Thought For The Old Year
Happy New Year! They all want to say,
With little regard for whats slipping away,
A year of fond hopes and bright dreams is now gone,
And we only have thoughts of the new ones to dawn.
Take just a moment to think of the past,
The days now gone by that made memories last.
We had all the birthdays. We ate all the cake.
We had great good times and now, goodness sake,
They want to forget it with hardly a nod,
A whole year forgotten. I think that its odd.
One day, in our dotage, well all reminisce,
On those Good Old Days were so willing to miss.
A thought for the old year seems timely tonight,
Its lengthening shadow drifts slowly from sight.
The old year departs with a staggering tread,
As we watch a new year toddle in, in its stead.
It will sleep with the others in a long endless pile,
But Id like to point out that it went out with style.
There isnt a doubt that its one for the books,
But its clearly not one wed have chosen for looks.

I just want to put my new calendars up! I used to wash my sweaters every January 1, but I don't have any sweaters anymore.
