Gawd bless us, evyone . . or wharra bleedin' shambles. Let's really hope for something better. This turkey's shot dead cold. It made merry and run under a bus. It croaked before it's calendar. This year has done, gone and met it's maker. Was a cast-off before it got started. It's bleedin' snuffed it. In fact, I'd rather have a slug. Happy new year, Strans ol' man.
Well, as we wade laboriously, yet inexorably, through the last ebbing disjecta membre of 2020, I can only hope that the next year will offer something better than this one. I always find the final month of the year and, especially, the last week as something of a dead and decaying duck that has given up the ghost because it has become so lame. Thenceforth, to stand in front of Time's shotgun and declare resolutely - Help yourself! I have a different pad to look forward to - thank goodness. I'll just have to see if the ghosts of the past decide to follow. I have recommended to the purchaser of my old property the services of an exorcist, just in case the malevolence of the old sticks around. So, to a 'new' life. Freedom lives hence and banishment is here - so spake the Earl Of Kent. Marvin might put it another way. A whole new life? Oh no, not ANOTHER one.
Thank you Mr Scrooge, and a 'have a good one' back atcha !

ReplyDeleteMoving on is an important thing. A new place to put down new roots. Good luck to you,John, hope the ghosts stay behind!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Melinda Gordon is still in business? I have a horse whisperer in the family, but I think they stay within their specialized field.
