THE NEW YEAR'S GIFT

On the first day of New Year- 
This year gave to me,
One corpse lying in my living room.
On the second day of New Year-
This year gave to me, 
Two stillborn babies,
One corpse lying in my living room.
On the third day of New Year-
This year gave to me, 
Three empty coffins,
Two stillborn babies, 
One corpse lying in my living room.
