Happy New Year

Happy New Year The curtains are closed, everybody’s sleeping in. They all had a busy day, bringing this Christmas in. They have shopped and cooked and drunk alcohol all day. There is no energy left for another day of play. The roads are quiet, the shops are all closed. Those up and about really look half dozed. I feel sorry in a way for all those that celebrated They look quite knacked now, their wallets very deflated There is just time, to recover a little bit. It’s few days before, they all restart living it. The shopping, eating, drinking all through the day. Welcoming the New Year in, with kisses and horseplay. I wish you all well, with the strength to get through it. Happy New Year, to all of you that will do it. I hope you have strength to get though that night. But remember the New Year doesn't start after after midnight. Save some strength and resilience you need to carry on. Another year must pass, before the next one. A new year and none will know whatever it may bring Be prepared to pay the piper, if the fat lady starts to sings ©~GG~2011
