A chapter in the book Poems

Old Year

by Bill Schott


Now it's December and close to the end

of all that we know to trust and defend;

babies were born and others passed on;

new friends were found while some are now gone.


Time's Up for harassment and Toys-R-Us;

Democrats win some congressional trust;

Me Too movement moves men out,

as women receive some closure and clout.


Next year my smart phone can give me a zap,

if I am having a big heart attack;

my car will drive me for medical care

and teach me a language before we get there.


Journalist murdered, dismembered, and dumped,

which is all fine with Pretends-a-dent Trump;

"Show me the money, Mr. MBS!"

"Trump Tower in Moscow? Yes, Putin. Yes!"


Everyone is racist, whatever they say,

whoever they are, whatever the day;

our friends 'round the globe all think we stink;

so this year ends with the world on the brink.
