    Hogmanay Haiku

     
    “New Year's Eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening, that come with the coming of darkness on other nights”
    ~Hamilton Wright Mabie
     
    “Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.”
    ~Brooks Atkinson
     
    “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”
    ~Bill Vaughn
     
      
     
    Please go to my favorite ‘word of the day’ smithy, Siobhan, for an explanation of Hogmanay.
     
    Happy Hogmanay to you all!

    Finally it’s here
    The end of a crappy year-
    So goodbye to you
     
    I can’t rightly say
    You were good in any way-
    So goodbye to you
     
    Hoping the New Year
    Will be much more bright and clear-
    So goodbye to you
     
    Midnight I’ll be there
    To watch your end and declare-
    So goodbye to you
     
    It will be so good
    For you, the scythe and the hood-
    So goodbye to you
     
    Hoping that next year
    This same song I will not cheer-
    So goodbye to you
