We sing Auld Lang Syne,
Drink toasts, kiss one another
Parting as best friends
Is any of this sincere
Or just another facade
I really don’t know
Perhaps it’s the tradition
An obligation
Giving hope in the New Year
To the masses of hopeless
Regardless of why
I shall tip my glass with glee
Drink my libation
Kiss and hug as dictated
Joining the hopeless in hope
This is my duty
As a member of mankind
Which I shall not shirk
Performed with an honest smile
And truest love in my heart
A Happy New Year
And a sincere best wishes
Are my closing words
May it be all that you hoped
And greater than expected
