I Am A Citizen Of The WORLD

A new dawn is about to appear

With pop, confetti and teddy bear

Celebrations, revelry and cheer

All friends, family, near and dear

-

To the excitement, lend your ear

Fun, frolic, no ‘night curfew' fear

Let's get into Auld Lang Syne gear

Jingle bells is all I can hear

-

Smiles, laughter, nothing else to idear

Joking around, what's there to jeer?

All caps, woolies and knitwear

One feels like Queen and King Lear

-

Next year arrives in seconds mere

Heartbeats increase as 2400 is near

Songs of Feliz Ano Nuevo we overhear

Boys and girls dance among peer

-

No one minds actions queer

Marching bands go forward from rear

Delights and wishes - sheer and sincere

For the year gone by - a single tear

-

The images bright, nothing unclear

To let it in, all hurry to volunteer

The new is in, the old outwear

Cool and calm, no pressure to exert

-

I wish you all a Happy New Year

All friends from Antarctica to Zaire
