It was December 31st, 2013
I had a date with my girlfriend
(Do you go on dates with your girlfriend?)
We were celebrating New Year's Eve.
For dinner I ordered a dead animal
Of one kind or another
And my girlfriend had a fish
(Fish are dead animals too?).
We talked about the weather,
What it was like outside rather than in-
It's really cold today, she said.
I know, I said. It's going to be a cold year.
That's only until midnight.
I smiled. You're right. We've only got another hour of this weather.
Then our food arrived and we ate
It was our private Year on New Year's Eve.
