Happy New Year (An Acrostic)

How Humans now celebrate the Winter Solstice And herald a new three hundred sixty five days Perhaps they go skiing, or just for a drive Party till dawn, oh, there are so many ways You’d have been a year older, in olden days Now we have football all the day through Excitement and movies, always sumthin’ new We’d have been a year older, in olden days You wait in the morning for the Rose Parade Eat, drink and be merry for one more off day At the mercy of weather, or inside and warm Revealing these years are more modern days
