Music For The New Year

Last Poem of the Year as 2025 comes to a close in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ It's Open Link night ~ As usual Anything Goes!!!!  I traveled way back .. back to 2011 ~ a year of big shifts .. technologically, politically and culturally.  




Deal Me In


Hey look me over 

white hair and all

livin’ my best years havin’ quite a ball

don’t count me out folks

 don’t pass me by

I figure because I’m still here on this earth 

you’re stuck with me – oh my 

and I’ll be up on my Facebook

Pinterest and more

 New Year is coming 

don’t know what’s in store

I’m a little bit goofy and full of cheer 

so let me give you some

to the New Year 

here I come!

    Ah Bea Arthur... what a character! And I watched the You Tube version of Judy Garland sing this song after Bea's. Sigh... Yes, look out World, here I come.

    Loved this spunky poem.
