The New Year's in Diapers

   The New Year's in diapers
     a broad smile on her face

   Sipping champagne from pink booties
     in her hair, Queen Anne's lace

    Bald baby boy with the cigar
     please remove your fedora

   Those puff-clouds of smoke
     ruin 2024's aura

This was so funny and cute as a button! Does one need booties to sip champagne? I better get some if that's the case, but where do I find the champagne?

Perhaps George Burns with that stogy in his hand watching Gracie downstairs on his closed-circuit tube.

I hope that 2024 will grow up and be a more responsible new baby than 2023. Be more respectful, compassionate and forgiving. A Happy Healthy and contented year is sincerely wished to you and yours, Gershon, I hope you are feeling well. Take care, Old Duck
