Dawn of a New Year

A new year's eve poem

New Year's

Ale, beer,

Wine and such

Poured out by the bottle

The scent of alcohol

Thick in the air

People staggering around

Wishing each other

"Happy New Year"

The clock counts down

Couples are together

Exchanging kisses

Greeting others

It's a new year

And they all start off

With the worst hangover

Of this year

Author's Note

I watching a tape from new year's a couple years ago and someone woke up and said that their hangover was the worst they had had all year.
