It’s time to say "Goodbye old year"
We had a few good times
Now I feel the need to try to
Pin it down in rhyme.
2006 the year in which
I became 45
Felt old for the first time ever
But still glad to be alive.
The year in which we decided
To leave and live in Greece
For the ouzo, olive oil and sun
And the people and the peace.
2006 had some terrible moments
it could have been much worse
but bad enough to allow the penning
of this truly awful verse.
Written because I haven’t written a poem for so long and I really had to write another one before the year was out.
PS Is the rhyming text used on publicity media – adverse?
