New Year

New Year

Like the old year

Stale air makes you feel faint

New Year like the old year

With a new lick of paint

New Year

Resolutions

Promises you know you can’t keep

New year like the old year

The hill is still too steep

New Year

Time takes a leap

Pops like a cork

Watching your soul being opened

By a knife and fork

New Year

Just like the old year

Wishing you could kick away

The things that always stick

Like the tock and the tick

New Year

Put a shovel in the dirt

Dig yourself a hole

To bury the things that hurt

But keep the coin the bread and coal
