A New Year Dawns

A New Year Dawns - Only Once Santa has Gone

My soup from supper is no longer warm
So I write some more words
Then begin to yawn

It's not yet even close to daylight
As outside is still a coal dark night
And Spring is not yet ready to be sprung
As Winter and her intent has only just begun

Flu has set itself deep in my body
Head so thick I can hardly Noddy
But Big Ears and some friends pass a toddy

Its called a New Year celebration
One we wish for all the nation

I for one can get the drift
Even if I don't believe in it

But as Santa one said
It's better to be naughty than nice?

Mmm... maybe I got that wrong
Maybe it was Rudolph who sang that song?

Santa Claus is still yet to come to town
I sure hope I don't miss the clown

Cos once he has been down my chimney
It's back to you and to me 
To make sure that reality is
Keeping the World
from Insanity

Happy Xmas and New Year my friends

Happy 2020

Greetings. We both have the flu? Amazing? I loved " I can hardly noddy" LOL And let's hope we can keep the world sane by all of us trying to understand each other and respecting others' points of view. Hope we both get well soon, I can't even be at the Soup except for short spurts of time...maybe tomorrow I can. Pangiota xxx
