Seren Roberts Poet Rhyme

After Auld Lang Syne Is Sung

The horns are squeezed the bells ring out
Auld Lang Syne is sung, no one about
All gone to their homes, arm in arm they walk
A few bevies inside them, so they talk the talk. 

Of how it will be this coming year
Money no object, no fighting or fear
Till they get home, something seems to snap
The dog is kicked, the wife gets a slap

The bevies have taken over, control is nought
Peace ever after, what a grand thought
No use trying to coax or chivvy when like this
Definitely stand away, don't get close for a kiss

He will blame it on a bad pint, same as last year
Makes you want to forget new year with  all its fear
He needs to be locked up with a few likewise men
Bet he would never, beat his wife up again.

So all you men and women that drinks too much
this poem I hope your conscience will touch
Get a grip of yourself be a man keep off the beer
Give your family a break next new year


For all the abused women and children that fear holiday times
