A poem for 2012

A jack of all trades, master of none, I have never claimed to be a poet. Today however, I was randomly inspired to write this catchy little rhyme. You can thank me for not setting it to music and singing it to you via a poor-quality video on Youtube. Enjoy. Or not. I only ask you to keep negative comments to yourself. I am trying to be positive here.

Happy new year, friends and foes. Which are you? Your conscience knows. Of friends, I’m blessed with many. Of foes, I’m blessed with few. Good times are never one-sided; We’ve all shared a slew.

With this new year, let’s look ahead. Think not of the past, good times or bad. I wipe the slate clean, invite a new start. Those in column B, you’re still in my heart.

Come for a visit, just knock on the door. Mi casa es su casa, a toast I will pour. A song, I will sing. A jig, I will dance — like the late great James Brown, with ants in my pants.

I have good feelings, 2012. The dregs of last year, I joyously shelve. Look out, new year, you’re mine for the taking. 2012′s a year in the making.
