COUNTDOWN TO ANOTHER YEAR

Big Ben it chimes, we raise a toast

Our glasses to those we’ve hurt the most

Our loved ones that take all the flack

Angry rows, we always take back    

************************           

The FIRST bell tolls and there we sit

Waiting for the last one to hit

Anticipating what is next

While others sit around and text

The SECOND chime follows pretty fast

We’ll finally be in a New Year at last

Hopefully better than the rest

And soon we’ll put it to the test

The THIRD and FOURTH they chime so loud

Revellers within the crowd

Jumping up and having fun

Can’t wait ‘til another hard year’s begun

The FIFTH tolls out and we think of all

The people we miss, must give them a call!

But it ain’t gonna happen; don’t have the time!!

Lives are so busy; a production line!

The SIXTH one goes, we’re halfway there

My resolutions going up in the air

I light a fag, say “what the hell!!

I’ll start tomorrow!!  I love that smell!!!!!”

The SEVENTH, EIGHTH follow much too fast

“Must give that dvd a blast!!”

Kitted out in lycra; bounding up and down

How to look a great big clown!!!

The NINTH chime hits, resolutions fade

The thought of changes still to be made

All this wishing with good intention

Improve my friendships and health, not to mention!

The TENTH and ELEVENTH; it nearly is here

I can feel the eruption of a really loud cheer

Anticipation, excitement, smiley big faces

Dreams; desires; hopes, it now chases

The TWELFTH bong hits and the crowd it unites

Happiness; friendship our hearts all ignite

If for one single moment in all of the year

Show your family some lovin, and hold them all near!!

************************

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR :)
