Well, the year is finally coming to a close, and it’s time to celebrate a new trip around the sun. There were bad times, and… good times…?
But 2016 is over and that’s all there is to say.
So Long, 2016
the year is almost over
we cry out in relief
so much crap came down the pipe
it beggared all belief
Bowie, Cohen, Wilder, Prince
Rickman, Phife, Vigoda
Shandling, Ifill, Merle, Ali
and if you need a coda
to this symphony of death,
i’d add
(though it’s a bitter pill)
that while democracy’s not dead,
it’s looking pretty ill
so let’s look forward to next year
it’s just bound to be better
(which is like before Katrina saying,
“it couldn’t get much wetter”)
