Almost new year

Tic Toc, the countdowns started, Another years nigh done. Break out the poppers, the salt and the coal, In with the new and out with the old, As parties rage on across the land, Resulutions emerge from boy and man. Mistakes forgiven, mishaps forgot, Alliances forges with every shot. The old care not, the young dont know, The lovers see through Rosie glow, Blinded by hope and fooled by fear We welcome in a brand new year. Drink up ye hearties, make merry ye men, Your future begins with the chimes of Big Ben
