Ringing In the New Year

Chill the champagne Activate the festive flair Turn on our tv set Tune in to Dick Clark’s New Year Rockin’ Eve Enjoy the lively entertainment Times Square becomes The center of our universe The crowd is jubilant Excitement roars And culminates The old year almost over We join the countdown Wholeheartedly and loud There is no going back Up and up in anticipation For the celebrated ball drop Five four three two one Let’s pour the bubbly And raise our glass Hugs and kisses For all our loved ones It’s magical and surreal Another year gone by We turn the page Goodbye Hello We start anew Dreams launched free Exhilarate with possibilities Submitted on February 7, 2020 for contest STRAND NO.670 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - HONORABLE MENTION Originally posted on February 3, 2020

Perhaps no coincidence that you've posted this cheerful poem right about on the date of the Chinese New Year. Those folks can certainly use a dose of good cheer!... They may want to change their year from that of the Rat to the Year of the Bat! Poor China! What a plague they're dealing with! ~ Gershon

Indeed what a tragedy. What I remember of the year of the Rat is that it's very practical... zero in on fixing the problem at hand. Thankfully China seems to have quickly gone on FIX IT mode. This certainly has got the world's attention.
