Happy New Year
Most of America is now a feedlot
And I’m sick of scooping shit
Happy New Year
The arms manufacturers had record year
And even the Pope is upset
Happy New Year
I’m worried about catching bird flu from goose shit at the park
So I avoid the nice playground at the lake and now my two-year-old is disappointed
Happy New Year
I’m approaching 40 and suffer from low T
But still not balding
Happy New Year
My high school buddies are either dead or
born again conservatives
Happy New Year
Some of my favorite people are ageing boomers
Who have become more open minded with age
Happy New Year
My nephew is a wonderful young man
And gave Barrak Obama’s autobiography for Christmas
He is exceptionally bright and social
Happy New Year
My son and my nephew will transcend old ideas
Fascism sexism racism capitalism
My son who looks more like his mother
My son and my nephew
Each day making moral decisions in their schools and social lives
Avoiding all the traps and pitfalls
My wonderful son and his cousin helping each other
As age
Happy New Year
Our children and grandchildren will face the climate catastrophe head on
Mass extinctions addressed
Adapting their lifestyles diets and routines
Our current social structure
Religions
And culture absurd to them
Absurd fossils
Happy New Year
Our descendants all transcending into something so foreign and beautiful
Our current lives will be laughable
