Happy New Year,
To my Scottish friends,
Who are just waking up,
From the New Year Bend,
***
We celebrate hard,
And sing our auld lang synes,
Shake hands with our families,
And welcome the time.
***
So with work tomorrow,
And a new year ahead,
It’s probably time,
We start hitting the bed.

Happy new year one and all,
It’s a new decade,
And you can make it what you want.
***
There drink still in the fridge,
Puddings on the table,
You’ve had your fill of last year.
***
Welcome to the 20s of today,
And compare them to the past,
Will they be roaring as before.
***
Let us hope for the future,
And dream of this decade,
Let’s make it what we can.

Have a drink for today,
Shed a memory for yesterday,
Hold a thought for tomorrow.
***
Don’t worry about today
Or dwell on the past,
And don’t panic about the future.
***
We say goodbye to 2019,
Hello to a new decade,
And welcome to 2020.

With a twist of creativity,
Turkey can become a curry
Whether a masala or vindaloo,
There is a curry there for you.
***
Strips of Christmas turkey,
With a curry sauce of choice,
Some rice on the side,
And a pudding for the night.

Quick grab your coat,
We don’t want to miss the deals,
We need to get to town,
And spend money on those “Steals”.
***
The kids have Christmas money,
Dad wants a new TV,
Mum wants a quiet life,
So lets go hit the high street.
***
Wrap up warm and snug,
Don’t catch a winter bug,
Make your list and check it twice,
You want to buy something nice.

Now that the Turkey is done,
And the rum is run,
And Christmas draws to a close.
***
Thoughts turn to the year,
That the close is so near,
And the journey that is to come.
***
The end of a decade,
The start of a new one,
The possibilities that are to come.
***
So have another glass,
And toast to the past,
And watch the rest of the year pass.
