Reality Fun
It was the night before the first drink
Lending hand to all the new years cheats
There was not a human stirring not even a one
That is not in a right mind
There was laughter and food to burn
Lots of good dates going on
The dress was formal only in thought
Wearing out the Crees in the new jeans done
Danced up a storm watching the clock
The 12 ending with a bang
Closing in on many false promises
It sounded good in conversation
Trouble is many will never make it there
A game we all play with words
Books of knowledge should help us out
The writer who may have done so gave no clue
All was in the mill of the after Christmas news
