Happy New Year 2009

As the evening sets,
and people head home,
to get things ready,
for the New Year to come.

Parties are waiting,
fireworks display,
for a Happy, Happy,
New Years Day.

If too much drink,
has you in a spin,
call for a driver,
family, or good friend.

Don't be foolish,
thinking, Oh not me,
don't cause your family,
or yourself avoidable grief.


Happy New Year, Please be safe....
