Escape the obligation - New Year's Eve Satire Poem
Tis the season with no reason, the new year began last week.
A trifling fact, to be ignored, just turn the other cheek.
Gather round the yule log now, or head down to the bar
Prepare to ring a "New Year" in, and get set to go to war
Within your mind. -Tradition says to make a resolution
Exercise, diet, read, start a r3VOLution...
To just survive another day and find yourself content
Is not enough this holiday! Find SOMETHING to repent!
At last I've reached a cronish age, so with no deliberation,
I decree "I am excused" and thus escape that obligation.

What a great little poem. I always thought news years should be on the solstice, but they love messing with time. Have a great new years.
