What can be said in New Year rhymes, That’s not been said a thousand times? The new years come, the old years go, We know we dream, we dream we know. We rise up laughing with the light, We lie down weeping with the night. We hug the world until it stings, We curse it then and sigh for wings. We live, we love, we woo, we wed, We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead. We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear, And that’s the burden of the year

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “The Year” (1910)

Here's an original offering of my own, which is not quite factual yet, but will be very soon:

Nancy Pelosi's left the state, She may have left a little late; What she did was quite a sin, The state she left the state in; She waved her hand and said "ta-tah," I'm off to sunny Florida; It doesn't have that many gringos, Still, it's full of pink flamingos; But you know the greatest treat? No bums are shitting in the street.
