2012

So Christmas Day is over
Over for another year
A day of mad indulgence
Too much food, wine and beer

At least one of the kids has said
They're bored, nothing to do
Even though your living room
Is toys 'r' us mark 2

It started early once again
The kids were so excited
And with their presents thankfully
They were pretty much delighted

As was I I'm pleased to say
Some things I got were great
And moreover the gifts I gave
Have hit the mark to date

Our Christmas Day is split in half
The second half's Boxing Day
It's off to my sisters to do it again
More presents, food and play

It's not really been a brilliant year
Depression, accidents and loss.
Pressures of work were massive
I wish it gone as soon as poss

There were some positives though.
Like Barcelona in the summertime
Greece in October
And my new found love of rhyme!

The ability to dump my thoughts
Into a verse or two
Has been a massive help for me
As a reader, how 'bout you?

As 2012 is on its way
I can't say ill be sad
To close the door behind this one
In fact ill be quite glad.

Now 2013 will be my year
No question, it's a must
To all those who I love and owe
It's time to repay all their trust.
