Moving Forward

School and work resumed today, The holidays complete, So now we’re moving forward, Hoping slips we won’t repeat. Of course, there will be blunders And perhaps a huge snafu, But the ways we botch and bungle Should at least be fresh and new. If we’re fortunate, then maybe We can laugh at our mistakes And accept that there are times when We just can’t catch any breaks. So far things are going smoothly; Well, at least they are for me, Thought there’s lots of time ahead To mess up 2023.

This delighted me "the ways we botch and bungle Should at least be fresh and new."

That last little couplet sums all it all up, Ilene. Waiting for the first mess-up here...
