AS TIME GOES BY (As Well As 'Bye')

                                                               


Oh, Eve of a New Year !

Champagne bottles break;

Resolutions stay spotless

  By sharpened snowflakes...

We greet bright-eyed babies;

Aged men wave goodbye;

Yet, just 12 months prior,

We sailed those same highs!

'Feb' gathers love poems

And scores of red hearts;

The Ides bring March madness,

With winds off the charts.

 April weaves baskets

Of jonquils and bunnies;

May summons bumblebees

Brimming with honey...

Many a bride says 'I Do'

In fair June;

July's blazing skies

Call for flag-bearing tunes...


Sweet August is sunrise;

September, full moon;

October breathes harvests

That cause geese to swoon...

In times of November

Great tables are laden;

But once comes December,

Fine snow slows to 'fade-in'

When that last day arrives:

[December '3' with a '1']

It excitedly bellows,

THIS  YEAR'S  ABOUT  DONE !!!
