We Toast Our Success

The New Year warms up
     The old one winds down
  Celebrants don their apparel
     The good news to herald

  Will the songs be the same
     Will the jokes be as lame
  Will we toast our success
     Then drink to excess...

  Rituals help us mark
     Our annual milestone in time
  So, on the 31st of December
     I sneak into bed before nine

(Goyishe zachin!). Cheers

John Lawless Date: 12/27/2022 7:05:00 AM Just like the "old year" eh Gershon. A buddy of mine used to say "I don't get New Years. We stay up all night, shout Happy New Year and then go into the darkest of depressions until spring arrives. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 12/27/2022 6:08:00 PM Ha, ha! I think your buddy gets New Year celebrations exactly right.
