Festive

The vendors on the corners
Popped up everywhere like weeds,
With all that glitzy New Year’s stuff
That everybody needs:

The sparkly light-up glasses
Flashing 2014;
The groggers, horns and necklaces
To jazz the New Year scene.

The hats displayed are every type,
In felt or neon plastic – 
Derby and Fedora,
Even top hats, quite fantastic.

Festivity’s contagious
And for puttin’ on the Ritz
To welcome in the brand-new year,
You’ve gotta have some glitz!

It sounds like it's the place to be, Times Square and it's people of sea. I'd like to hop them bars that night sometime before I die. So I can wake up in the morning to only ask God why. :) Peace. :)
