HAPPY NEW YEAR POEMS

Happy Year of the Dragon

“Gung Hay Fat Choy!”
In China, Every Girl And Boy
Celebrates The New Year
In A Very Special Way —-
With Fireworks And Dragons,
Colored Red And Gold —-
They Welcome In The New Year
And Chase Away The Old!

And ye, who have met with Adversity’s blast,
And been bow’d to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass’d
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.
~Thomas Hood

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
If it didn’t bring you joy
just leave it behind
Let’s ring in the new year
with good things in mind

Let every bad memory
that brought heartache and pain
And let’s turn a new leaf
with the smell of new rain

Let’s forget past mistakes
making amends for this year
Sending you these greetings
to bring you hope and cheer
Happy New Year!

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I’ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest

Happy New Year Poem

A New Year  ~ William Arthur Ward

Another fresh new year is here 

Another year to live!

To banish worry, doubt, and fear,

To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest ”

To daily grow and try to be

My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity

Once more to right some wrongs,

To pray for peace, to plant a tree,

And sing more joyful songs!

A Bad Dream on New Year’s Eve

Leroy’s wife was taking an afternoon nap on New Year’s Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she confided to Leroy, ‘I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year’s present. What do you think it all means?’

‘Aha, you’ll know tonight,’ answered Leroy smiling broadly.

At midnight , as the New Year clocks were chiming, leroy approached his wife and handed her small package. Delighted and excited she opened it quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled: ‘The meaning of dreams’.

“Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits.” — Anonymous

“I’m a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser.” — Robert Paul

“New Year’s is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.” — Mark Twain

My Wish For You in 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 ~ FUNNY RESOLUTIONS, SAYINGS, QUOTES AND IMAGES

A new oath holds pretty well; but… when it is become old, and frayed out, and damaged by a dozen annual retryings of its remains, it ceases to be serviceable; any little strain will snap it.  ~Mark Twain, speech in New York City, 31 March 1885

MY RESOLUTIONS

I will

Spend less than one hour a day on the Internet.

This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I’m not a clock watcher.

Take time to ponder the little (important) things in my life

Try to figure out Google +

Get one of these:

Hand built in Canada,

the 1510 is a comfortable,

immersive and aesthetically unique environment

for the long hours spent in front of computer monitors.

See if I can really cry under water

Not worry about things I can’t control

Not read anything about the Kardashian Family

Try not to be so critical of the Republican GOP 2012 Presidential candidates

Stop trying to figure out why Donald Trump wears his hair like that

Stop asking Siri on my Apple iPhone 4s dumb questions

Not drink so much ~

Stages of getting drunk

Buy myself a Micro pig

Not weigh myself

Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day buck naked.

Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.

**

Not worry so much about the Mayan and Harold Camping Predictions

about the End of the World or Judgment Day December 21, 2012

Until December…

Get a massage when I’m feeling down

Not pass on more than one email forward each day, unless they are really good

HAPPY BOXING DAY SANTA

Wikipedia:

Boxing Day is a bank or public holiday that occurs on December 26, or the first or second weekday after Christmas Day, depending on national or regional laws. It is observed in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other Commonwealth nations.

Boxing Day is: A day to buy what you really wanted on

Christmas day at huge discounted prices!

Boxing Day bargain shopping is now as important a part of the Christmas tradition celebrated by more than a billion people around the world as the main festivities themselves. 

Boxing Day is traditionally one of the

largest retail days of the year!

Boxing Day: That time of year when everyone gets Santamental.

This guy goes into a restaurant for a Boxing Day breakfast while in his home town for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, ”I’ll just have the eggs Benedict.” His order comes a while later and it’s served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, ”What’s with the hubcap?” The waiter sings, ”O, there’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!”

The Day After Christmas Poem

‘Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house,

Every creature was hurtin’ even the mouse.

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead;

Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.

Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor, while

Upstairs the family continued to snore.

And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans,

I went into the kitchen and started to clean.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;

The patch on his jacket said “U.S. POSTMAN.”

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox

Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.

Bill after bill, after bill, they still came.

Whistling and shouting he called them by name:

“Now Dillard’s, now Targets’, now Penny’s and Sears

Here’s Visa, and Master Card, and one for the Beer.

To the tip or your limit, every store, every mall,

Now chargeaway-chargeaway-chargeaway all!”

He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work.

He filled up the box, and then turned with a jerk.

He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road,

Driving much faster with just half a load.

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer,

“ENJOY WHAT YOU GOT……..YOU’LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR!”
