Another Year (andrewagreen)

Another Year

So another year slithers to a close

And we are counting down its days:

Halloween tomfoolery,

Fireworks; Diwali, Guy Fawkes,

Remembrance poppies

Christmas shopping, office parties

Forced smiles

Big day; stuff ourselves silly

New Year knees up

Then we're done.

Too early to put it behind us

But what's done is largely done.

Britain's Brexited - doesn't know where it is

America's stuck with picking the least worst

Evil men have done as the evil do

We've buried the dead

And shed the usual tears

We'll finish with this year

Quite soon.

Bring on another

Please.
