Hello January

Hello January. You've come to me again much brighter and much fresher than where it all began. Another year of Income Tax forced upon us all. -Frightened of the Government and fear the cops will call. But then there is the lighter side. That money's in the bank. Thanks to Direct Deposit and accountants I will thank. The past seems rather far away. -Forgotten and gone dark. I wonder if you're new to me or repeat a distant spark. But when I think of January or "Jan" I'll say for short. You're more than an old problem to me. You fill my life with sport. I'm filled with your anxiety that makes me want for more and hope gives me direction while strength's a place to soar. And though you're only new to me and somewhat of a moocher. I know you hold the key for me that leads me to my future.
