Happy New Year

I must admit

They made it grand

It was classy

relaxing

and fun

There were fireworks

live music

champagne

There were flowers

and you,

being relatively good.

There was  protocol

Lots

of

protocol...

But when the moment came

and it all shone brighter

I fought hard

to hold back my tears

and all

the expensive enchantment

was thus

insufficient.
