Ushering In the Year

Another year has hit the dust,
So celebrate – of course you must,
With champagne toast in fancy clothes
Or couch-bound home, in sweet repose.

The brand-new year will come to pass
No matter where you raise your glass.
So here’s to all who’ll make the scene
To usher in 2 - 0 - 16!
