Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen by Franklin Price 1/1/2016 Sweet sixteen is finally here and sixteen minutes in If I waited to write longer Would be too sleepy to begin It's eight sixteen I went to bed At the ending of verse one Watching the bright ball drop Was tiring but fun My wife said if you stay up You're as crazy as a loon You can finish in the morning If you awaken before noon As you see it's not near noon yet And I really must confess Did not mean to write about myself But New Year's greetings to address Happy New Year to you To your friends and family Hope this year is awesome Hope it's the best that it can be May your road in life be paved and smooth May peace and love abound And at the end of sweet sixteen May we all still be around
