And here we are again. The time when humans pretend that everything will change at their den. They pretend things are fresh because of a number. Oh, things will be different as they slumber. Hey, at least some of that childhood imagination is alive. Even if you can only get it by taking some deep deep dive. Maybe the Tooth Fairy will show too. Hey, your teeth could be old and fall out, so may as well get some dough given about.
Here's the magic day.
Shout and go all hooray.
For things are going to change.
Doesn't that seem strange?
Nope? You touched in the head?
Maybe you fell outta bed.
That ought to be an excuse.
Wait. Maybe you'll ask a moose.
Or get that golden goose.
Let's go back to the moose.
I hear it's on the loose.
Like your magic lips or widening caboose.
What? We saw one.
It wasn't fun.
It was rather wide.
Now back to the magic side.
Things will change.
Back to the strange.
Must you repeat?
Can't I just hit delete?
Here we go.
Eye roll in tow.
You are going to...
Not do anything new.
You will pretend.
May even bend.
Take in this or that.
But then just chew the fat.
Back to the norm.
That is the form.
May as well sign it.
For new is full of spit.
Yep. Your spittle and slime.
For you wait for magic time.
Then the snot flows.
Right out your nose.
You cry and you moan.
You're back to alone.
Your resolutions didn't stick.
Next magic day they'll surely click.
Pffffffffffft. Nothing is new but the number on the date. 2020 is nice looking to my OCD though out of the gate. But nothing will, is going to, or whatever the hell else humans say to make you think change will come. It is only going to come if you get off your bum. Whether the date says 2020 or 1933 or 2055. You want change? You'll have to do more than do some placebo deep dive. You can do it now or five months ago. No magic day is in tow. Nope. It's not fresh either at your sea. You still stink as much as you did yesterday so let the shower fly free. Are you a resolutions setter? Maybe you are also a platypus better? Same odds they tell us. Or do you hide it behind goals and not the resolution fuss? Good to have goals any day, but a number changing isn't going to make things magically come or go away. Unless you can change the numbers in the lottery draw. Then you and your billions can change many a flaw. Oh, and taxes will again come due. The new number let's the IRS get you. And you just got older as well. But that is every day where you dwell. Now that the cat has crushed all spirits with this cheery pass, I'll just continue on being an ever so poking fun at humans little rhyming ass.
Happy New Number Day Or Whatever They Say!
2020 sounds good but 2062 was the year of the Jetsons. Happy New Year from all of us!!!
ReplyDeleteSo flying cars are only 42 years away?
DeleteHappy New Number Day!
ReplyDeleteJust a number not to sway
To show preference
Not being insistence
Make it lucky go on and pray
Hank
See what comes out
DeleteAs the year comes about
Happy New Year! I wish you and your family a wonderful 2020!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great one too and all in your crew
DeleteIt may be just another day but, it's a starting point for many who need a fresh perspective. Most resolutions are short lived as we are creatures of habit. I will just say Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI personally like the sound of 2020 but, I know it will carry many challenges ahead.
challenges and solutions....and of course peace and love...
Yeah, some do need it to get off their arse and use the whole fresh start thing, but few actually stick with it. 2020 has a nice ring, and we shall see what comes to be.
DeleteSome people do think Jan 1st is a magical number. The gym is always crowded in January. By February, it's back to ghost town! Lol. Happy 2020!
ReplyDeletelol that is the way it goes. Yep. People think it is magical like the tooth fairy.
DeleteHaha true, it’s just a number that changed. But the number does seem to have a big placebo effect :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish you and your loved one a very happy new year!
True. I suppose it is better than placebo pills. Hope you and the crew have a great new year too.
DeleteWhat did you see once? A moose or a giant caboose? Lol
ReplyDeleteI do agree that it’s just another day and that most goals don’t stick. That’s why I try to focus on what we will do during the upcoming year instead of how I’ll change. Although, I really want to get blinds for my windows this year. Does that count as a new year goal?? Lol
The latter...sadly
DeleteFocusing on what you'll do is a good way to go about it indeed. Could be a goal, but will you get them or be like the gym folks and never get em?
Oh, I'm sorry that your poor eyes had to see the caboose. Although, if I was given the choice, I would pick that over a moose any day!
DeleteNo, we must get them. We have gigantic windows on both sides of the house. The walls are practically all see through the windows are so big. Apparently my hubby gets a little annoyed when we're eating. He thinks the neighbors are popping pop corn and watching us eat as their favorite TV show.
Bah, moose aren't so bad. Beat a bear.
Deletehahaha well you never know. You could charge them a fee for all your great entertainment.
When I travel up north I get freaked out by the moose crossing signs. So to freak myself out more, I google car crashes with moose. There’s no chance of survival. You should see me driving through there, trembling, and gripping the steering wheel so tight that my hands turn red!
DeleteYeah, you hit a moose you are pretty much done. But if you aren't going very fast you'll be good. Same with a bear, you are toast if you hit one of them too. Deers are 50/50.
DeleteImagine hitting one and their legs start kicking you in the face through the windshield. Ughhh I cringe just thinking about that.
DeleteYeah, that would suck. Survive and then get kicked in the head, dead.
DeleteHappy New Year! We had a shitty 2019, so I opted not to do the superstitions we did last year. No corned beef, cabbage or black eyed peas here. Maybe chucking that aside will bring me a better 2020.
ReplyDeleteHopefully so, as those things can take a hike any old day.
DeleteAnother new number and not from Fred Astaire
ReplyDeleteMy husband is like you but I don’t despair.
Just live one’s life as best as one can
The number doesn’t matter, plan or no plan.
Yep, live and keep going
DeleteScrew the number that is showing
It will take everyone months to write the new year correctly :) But I do like the sound of 2020 better than 2019. Happy New Year Pat! Hope its a kind one!
ReplyDeletebetty
Yeah, it will take a while. 2020 does roll off the tongue easier.
DeleteHappy New Year Pat, make it be a successful one for you.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Hope yours is grand too!
Deleteso cheery. Happy New Year! Indeed - I'm always a bit depressed because we just start over and the same stuff occurs. But - hey, chin up. Yea for a new decade. Let's have fun!
ReplyDeleteYep, same old same old. But keep on a going.
DeleteThe kids are going to go bonkers in April
ReplyDeleteBonkers is more fun
DeleteThere's just something about the beginning of a new year, though, that perks most people up and gives them a challenge to have a good year. It lasts a few days, perhaps and then all is back to normal. Or maybe not. It's fun anyhow. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, people use it and it is a nice thought, while it lasts.
DeleteNo resolutions for me
ReplyDeleteI don't give a flip at my sea
I try to live my best each day
no matter what the calendar may say
Otherwise my expectations are too high
leaving me on couch to whine and cry
Happy New Year, Pat
Nothing for you, Cat
Elsie
Best way to be
DeleteLive and enjoy at your sea
Even if the cat says here's some pee
Step in it as it's free
January 4th...already 4 days in. We had a great new year here, with the newest little grand being born. Her parents don't want her online, but she's healthy and beautiful and we're all over the moon for her already. Happy New Years all around. May it be a year of delightful human poop machines, animals and stories being sold!
ReplyDelete4 days in indeed. Now you have 3 grands to spoil and get free stuff and do reviews for. Gonna have to up your posting to 50 a day lol Hopefully the trio of things come due indeed.
DeleteI know better than to make resolutions at the beginning of the year! Wishing you all the best in 2020, Pat!
ReplyDeleteBest to avoid indeed. Hopefully a good 2020 is had at your feed too.
DeleteWishing you mega book sales in 2020:)
ReplyDeleteWould be nice, but doubtful. Here's to mega book sales all around though.
DeleteHappy new year! Hope it's a great one for you. I do love starting the new year full of ideas and goals, but I don't believe in the whole "new year, new me" thing
ReplyDeleteCan have new goals indeed. But yeah, same old you no matter the year.
DeleteHappy new year Patt! This year I'm taking it slow, no resolutions, just silent focus on the things I've wanted!
ReplyDeleteHope you're well :)
Best way to be. Focus on what you want to do and screw the rest.
DeleteLots of new
ReplyDeleteAt my zoo!
A new knee,
But not for me!
A new phone
That works as shown!!!
Took 12 days,
But gone is the haze
Of phones that don’t work
Driving be berserk!
(Darn! Safari’s still giving me pain!
At least Firefox seems to be without shame...)
Phone and knee
DeleteA fine new to see
Working is best
Beats them being a pest
It's too much. Someone tried to hack my bankcard and I had to get a new one and change my pin. Now a new year number. It's too much!
ReplyDeletelol all kinds of new. Ugg to hacking though. That is just a pain in the arse.
DeleteChange sounds good to me:) Have a great one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that
DeleteHappy new year Pat! I so love the 2020 number, seems like good luck is coming.
ReplyDelete2020 is a great number indeed.
DeleteHappy New year cat !
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great one!
