The Fifth Annual Holiday Poem

2019 was OK.

I haven’t got a lot to say.

The president is being impeached.

Our nightmare’s end is within reach.

_____________

We flew to Greece this April last

And wallowed in our culture’s past.

Santorini was just great.

With all those views, what’s there to hate?

______________

We went to Philly; Cleveland, too.

Saw my home town–what’s old and new.

We just returned from NYC.

Saw all the shows that we could see.

Our mountain home has come along.

Just a few things have gone wrong.

We love the views and mountain air.

Next year we’ll spend more time there.

_________________

This time next year, we’ll be done.

We’ll ditch our jobs and have more fun.

When it comes to working stress

More is definitely less.

My wife’s hip has now gone bad.

When it’s fixed, we’ll both be glad.

Darcy’s two; she’s doing fine.

She keeps us running all the time.

______________

2019 was all right.

The denouement is now in sight.

It’s only one year till he goes

So keep the faith, and hold your nose.
