Have we all been conned

led to believe

that it's a new year

yet again.

Smells the same to me

bit Ratty I'd say

with a few Red Herrings

garnished along the way.

What with the Twitting of Presidents

the rhetoric of tyrants

along with the utturances

of 'It's a hoax a hoax.'

Do you really believe

I think its NEW

more like recycled

trumped up news stew.

So I ask you

have they declared peace?

has The Pope and kindred emptied their vaults

to the worlds refugees,

have those twerps

who own most of the Earth

really enlightened their brains

accepted it is owned by God.

Have dumb humans

stopped throwing plastic into the sea

making out it is degradeable

ignoring 'In the next century'

So you say I am a misery

I applaud your wit

but please wash your hands

tell them to keep their ----.
