New Year
SO MANY BILLS ARE DUE , SO MUCH PAIN
SO MUCH PRIDE I'VE HAD TO SET ASIDE
THIS NEW YEAR BEGINS SO PERILOUSLY
AS WE TOTTER ON THE EDGE OF SANITY
DEBTS WE OWE WE CANNOT REPAY
AND I FEEL AS IF I'M IN SOME COMIC PLAY
I WISH TO THE STARS AND THE MOON IN THE SKY
THAT AT LEAST IN THIS YEAR I WILL NOT DIE
WE WILL HAVE NO FOOD THIS TIME GO ROUND
AND OUR POOR PETS ARE SITTING IN THE POUND
AND WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY NOW
AND IF THE SUN RISES I DON'T KNOW HOW
FOR THE WATERS OF MY FUTURE ARE MURKY YET
EVEN IF MY LIFE'S ROADS ARE NOT SET
