Notes About The Poem

Cheers for the New Year

Cheers for The New Year

We cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.,
Twirling noisemakers and blowing ticklers,
And make resolutions we plan to engram.

And party away wearing silly tams,
Singing Auld Lang Syne with our sweethearts,
And cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.

Conscious boasts, though we know it’s a sham;
The mind is strong, but the body is weaker,
And make resolutions we plan to engram.

And swing to music played by the band,
Stepping on toes amid dance capers,
And cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.

While overindulging in hams and drams,
And tell ourselves we will change later
And make resolutions we plan to engram.

Company abounds chattering flimflam;
Sitting around the table sharing laughter,
We cheer for the New Year at twelve a.m.
And make resolutions we plan to engram.
