An Ode To a New Year

It was New Year Eve night, and although kids were up the only sound to be made was the drinking of cups. They were filled with the hopes that fireworks might start, so they could see that big beautiful spark. All through the night they sat just to watch and the fireworks would start with a blotch. After the fireworks were done the kids ran on home, to their beds where they slept cozily inside their dome. By the time it was midnight the kids were all sleeping only to miss the big ball that was beeping. The ball hit the top of that very long pole and the parents ran outside to go hit a bowl. So as they years went on, all those children who used to yawn were all staying up to watch, that big huge firework blotch.
