Best Riddance Poems

I welcomed you twenty twenty, a brand spanking new year
But all you brought with you was death, misery and fear
So I'll be glad to see the back of you and cant wait 'till you're gone
And I hope for better times in the year twenty twenty...

With no toilet seats carelessly left propped up
Oh, now I can be such a comfortable pup
Please take your Playboys straight out that open door
Then shut it quickly; I can take no more!
 
    Be gone with you, take all your shoes

What good would it do to have everything
And you have nothing
You can never claim anything as your own
Because anything is owned by God
Your friends, your possessions, the people that you love
You don't have nothing
God determines it like that
When you don't have nothing
That is when you...

Nobody is going to shed any tears for you.
This has been the last time and we are through.
I have tolerated your egregiousness for too long.
It is easy to see all along, you were wrong.

It seems since you have decided to roam,
I can at last attain...

So much talk of love is hocus-pocus,
    mumbo jumbo gibberish with relish.
You miss it when love's lost,
    but getting rid of it, when it goes off, is worse.
You can't take it out into the woods and run away.
You can't...

Serenity appears for all to behold 
mountainous lake unfelt by cold
your body sinks in waters deep
time and misery to now unfold

So easy to surrender, so hard to regret
a cuddle in a cold day, swept off at sunset.

Lies told by lustrous lips wandered away
as dusky desires drowned in a sunny day…
Her scented sweats desiccated like the dew,
the taste of her trust, now feels like sour stew.

So...

in hind sight 
now when i sit down and
go over the 
past in my mind 
i have come to realize
that i never truly 
loved you 
i have also discovered 
that i was never happy  
with you ever because you
had this way of 
making me...

Good riddance 2022!
I’m glad to see you go,
But maybe from your negatives
Some joy will start to flow.

A brand new year begins with hope;
The slate is fresh and clean,
So happiness may yet become
A part of our routine.

No illnesses, no canceled flights,
No hatred, anger, death – 
Just...

Oh, what a year this past year has been'
I hope we don't see one like it again.
First a tsunami in the Far East;
Thousands killed-to say the least.
Mudslides and earthquakes in diverse places,
We found out how fragile the human race is.
Next came the hurricane season,
When our...

Bringing undesirable to book, 
on irregularities for the look, 
exposing acts of crook and hook. 

plugging out loopholes, 
erecting pillars and poles, 
making a determined score. 

Remedying, 
nursing bruised soles, 
overhaul to the core

Good riddance 2013, you've been a really bad year.
You've brought me nothing but pain, misery and tears.
Because of you, my life has been destroyed.
You would've been a great year to avoid.
Mom died in March and Dad died in July.
You've been the worst year of my...

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling

than watching cabaret
January twenty first two thousand
twenty one marks his first full day
wherein Oval Office finally
flushed, ousted, and zapped,
whose paternal ancestry
begat genealogical...

One New Year’s Eve, a frigid night,
We visited a friend
For a festive celebration 
We were happy to attend.

On leaving, though, we found our car,
Its windshield quite a mess.
An egg was smashed across the glass;
It froze, as you might guess.

It took us ages just to scrape
Enough...
