On New Year's Day
Schools and many stores are closed;
Banks and barbers, too.
If you need to buy some stamps,
There’s nothing you can do.
Docs and dentists do not work;
The Market has no trades
And you may find a door that’s locked
At pool halls or arcades.
It’s a day for chilling out,
Relaxing in your home –
The perfect time to make some calls
Or read or write a poem.
For New Year’s Day’s the last hurrah
Before we’re back in gear.
The holiday is over, as
Tomorrow will make clear.
