Happy 2025
Happy New Year, that’s the hallowed greeting of this day
Thankful, I could understand, but happy, in what way?
Pleasant New Year is perhaps a better thing to say
Or fruitful, or productive would more meaning there convey
Does it better make you feel that strangers, passersby,.
On this one occasion wish you not be sad or cry
But be happy for a year; let problems pass you by
Perhaps they mean to drink your fill of liquid made from rye
Whatever – New Year’s holiday deserves its phrase unique
For people to acknowledge people; have a phrase to speak
Positive but meaningless, no answer does it seek
So, Happy New Year to you all and have a pleasant week
