This Year - Redux

The past year ended in burlesque
champagne oerflowing to the New.
Yet what next comes could be grotesque
if not for ancient scholars who
plot paths of heaven's starry crew.

Their charts of celestial gases
reveal the course of future time,
find a path which safely passes
past Thesaurus and forced line 
to Quintain, now in English rhyme
