I’m not one
To stay up
Until midnight
To toast
The arrival
Of the New Year.
There is no
Special someone
Waiting excitedly
For a
New Year’s kiss.
Most likely,
I will be
Sound asleep
When the Earth completes
Yet another
Revolution
Around the sun.
That doesn’t mean,
However,
That I am not
Ridiculously overjoyed
To see 2017
Hitting the bricks.
Goodbye, 2017.
Don’t make me
Have to call
Security
To escort you
To your
Place in history
On the
Space/Time Continuum.
You were
Twelve ugly months
I simply
Cannot wait
To forget.
Go away, 2017.
May you be
A distant memory
By the time
I awaken.
A new chapter
Begins tomorrow,
After the nightmare
Mercifully ends
At midnight.
Take a hike, 2017.
Your services
Are no longer needed.
Happy New Year!
We survived!
You read my mind! Worst. Year. Ever. In so many personal ways for me, but also in the the big picture. 2018 has a lot to live up to, for many of us looking to it to deliver something better and make up for the crap year before it. Hope it doesn’t crack under pressure.
Let’s hope this year is a big turnaround. 🙂
I agree, buddy, 20167 sucked rocks…
Amen!
