Ring in the old, out with the new

AS THE NEW YEAR APPROACHES,
we take stock at the Odd Fellows Hall.

Of treasures we have many
though shekels wane
in circumstances and  the economy;
of words,
we will remain at the
 telegrapher's key;
of true friends it rains cats and dogs;
well, minus one signficant cat -
vastly diminishing the deluge;
of lov-ed ones, they answer:
PRESENT!
and they are there.

Gauzy good health
gauzy good luck in the year of the rat
the uncertainties of these times
offer a net that could well
be breached.

What might the new year bring?
everyone wonders

..............

GONERS
BUT GOOD DANCERS
