A New Auld Lang Syne

(This poem can be sung to the melody of "Auld Lang Syne.")

 

It's been a year from hell--one that

We might choose to forget.

Our routine and our very lives

Have been under constant threat.

 

Let’s raise a glass and give a toast,

For we have reached the end

Of 2020. Will good things

Await us 'round the bend?

 

A deadly virus spread and still

It takes a heavy toll.

Let's hope the vaccines wipe it out;

That will be the New Year's goal.

 

Let’s raise a glass and give a toast,

For we have reached the end

Of 2020. Will good things

Await us 'round the bend?

 

The votes were cast; the people spoke.

Now let's shout out three cheers,

For gone will be the one who gave

Us four nightmarish years.

 

Let’s raise a glass and give a toast,

For we have reached the end

Of 2020. Will good things

Await us 'round the bend?
