New Year Old Moon

Tired old moon trying to shine

On drunk people singing

The first five words of Auld Lang Syne

Its the only line we remember

This year takes a bow

There are lovers having a row

Pledges will be promised

Angry words spoken

And most of the resolutions

Will be broken

Happy New Year

Cheeks will be kissed

Lies or truths will be wished

Almost everyone is pissed

It’s an entertaining sight

There will be the occasional fight

And on New Years Day

We won’t remember last night

The conversations with strangers

Has left and closed the gate

Nothing changes except the date.
