Exiting 2025 Smoothly. Sort of.

Once again I am being burned up with those strange, divergent emotions both applauding the new year and weeping the old year as it quietly disappears and the new one begins. 



2025, you’re thru!

You kept me sidelined and feeling blue

Get outta here, go on now, shoo!

Out with the old, in with the new


For several months I could not run

Dark clouds always seemed to block out the sun

No running, no breaks, no luck, no fun

You’re cold and cruel, you rotten one


You brought me pain and misery

Why, oh why did that car strike me?

Please Lord, please, fix my knee

Give me hope, set me free


Yet…

Turn

Turn!

Turn old year!!


Turn old year before you go!!

It’ll get better, it’s got to, I just know

You can’t stay locked away in that gloomy haze

Forever trapped in sad condemning yesterdays


With help from George, Louise, Bob and Brad

My knee slowly began to heal

By mid July, it wasn’t so bad

In September my confidence was real


I am exiting 2025

Feeling very much alive

Running strong, in full flight

2026 is looking bright



Arrrg. It’s no good. In fact, it stinks.

Let’s just forget I ever wrote this piece of shit poem and jam with the Kinks…


                                    Better Things



Here's hoping all the days ahead

Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you

Be an optimist instead

And somehow happiness will find you

Forget what happened yesterday

I know that better things are on the way


It's really good to see you rocking out

And having fun

Living like you've just begun

Accept your life and what it brings

I hope tomorrow you'll find better things

I know tomorrow you'll find better things
