New Year

SO MANY BILLS ARE DUE , SO MUCH PAIN 
SO MUCH PRIDE I'VE HAD TO SET ASIDE 
THIS NEW YEAR BEGINS SO PERILOUSLY
AS WE TOTTER ON THE EDGE OF SANITY 
DEBTS WE OWE WE CANNOT REPAY
AND I FEEL AS IF I'M IN SOME COMIC PLAY
I WISH TO THE STARS AND THE MOON IN THE SKY 
THAT AT LEAST IN THIS YEAR I WILL NOT DIE
WE WILL HAVE NO FOOD THIS TIME GO ROUND
AND OUR POOR PETS ARE SITTING IN THE POUND
AND WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY NOW
AND IF THE SUN RISES I DON'T KNOW HOW
FOR THE WATERS OF MY FUTURE ARE MURKY YET 
EVEN IF  MY LIFE'S ROADS ARE NOT SET
