The Same Old New Year

Just another year

When the earth goes around the sun

Ageing and growing old

Where is the fun?

Or is it the eagerness to mature

That’s keeping you awake

The joy of conquering

The fear of being at stake

Just another date

On a new calendar

Same old drill

January to December

Or is it the spirit

Of your New Year resolution

That gives you hope

For earth’s next revolution

Do you think it’s fun

Or a waste of time

Spend it with the one you love

Else it's a crime
