Trying something new this year

Just don't know what I was thinking

Trying something new this year

But it may lead to drinking

Lonely is the holiday

and not what it should be

Boring is the day of thanks

What has become of me?

I tried something new this year

Some holidays want old

You can't find joy in new

when traditions are the gold.

I should be cooking turkey

and watchng the parade

I should be making pumkin pie

instead of this charade.

I thought I would go have some ffun

I thought to elude the past

I thought I escaped the chopping block

but there it waits at lastt

Goodbye new traditions

turkey it shall be

If only I'd tried Hawaii

A luau it just might be.
