I imagine she's wearing a twitter-less frown
Pickles is posting her messages twice
And most of the posters are being quite nice.
Some people are sad---it's the end of the year
Last day of John's calendar--now that brings a tear
And Lerdie's found secrets of eternal youth
2112 ----we'll be very long in the tooth
Josie has tweeted a nice new year wish
Before she goes out to drink like a fish
Now won't it be nice if John raises a tweet
I sure hope he does then I'll jump to my feet
Now me I am sober---I went out last night
But at least in the morning my head will feel right
I'm being a taxi for daughter number one
To save her some money so she can have fun
It means I'll be here till possibly quite late
And will try to keep posting at a regular rate
For now I will finish and wish you good cheer
On this eve of another new wondrous year.”
I can't believe how quickly you produce these lovely poems, literally from what people said a few moments ago, and catches the atmosphere of the moment. Great!
You are definitely our poet laureate of the thread now - I think everyone will agree it should be extended to 2012 now.
