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.
