Happy New Year

Hail hail the gang's all here!
Auld Lang Syne and singing toasts,
Pretty well shnockered with all that cheer,
Pitching me, the designated driver host.
Y'all ishz djusht the mosht!

Never seen it from this side,
Everybody's lookin' kinda fried.
Wishishin you da bestest buddy!

You know, I'm pretty glad I'm here,
Every one of these trusted, trusting friends is very dear.
Actually this shady deal was pretty danged raw.....
Roasted buddies fixed me with the short straw!!
