On New Year's Eve
Once upon a time, on New Year’s Eve,
We dressed and then we headed out,
For gathering with friends was what
The holiday was all about.
We drank and partied, maybe even
Danced and sang a little bit
And laughed and schmoozed and only
Hours past midnight did we finally split.
Tonight, though, after many years,
We dressed and left to eat at 5,
Enjoying quite a lovely meal,
Relieved we didn’t have to drive.
And now we’ll watch TV, enjoying
“Twilight Zones” as time will creep,
Until, at last, the ball will drop
While both of us, exhausted, sleep.
