AFTER the intoxication that
A Merry Christmas brings
Arrives a brand New Year
Full of the same old things
The same old courtrooms
The same routine of cases
The same humorless milords
With their long drawn faces
The new diaries have arrived
New dates will fill up with ease
Old diaries will retain relevance
As reminders of unpaid fees
No cause now causes a flutter
Hope some spark new fire stokes
Old friends after a few pegs
Start spilling those same old jokes
So what's new in the New Year?
Is a very good question to ask
But the reply, like a new variant,
May find the same old mask!
