New Beginnings
By Chris Slade
I had a message from the lovely Kate
That at the New Year Party at her home
In order properly to mark the date
She’d like me to compose a sonnet poem.
So many of her friends are in the LETS
And pay with Marts for things that they get done -
It doesn’t matter if they build up debts:
It means another’s credit has begun.
We wonder what will happen in this year
And hope it brings prosperity and mirth
With no more war or pestilence or fear
‘Cos soon there’ll be a most important birth.
Not long after the New Year has begun
Our Kate will very shortly be a Gran!
