A Busy Time
The Christmas season's here again
in many ways, it seems so fast
and yet, so much has happened, too
in these twelve months just past.
The poor old world's been shaken up
by physical and political events
So, for a time, it will be a chance
to concentrate on Christmas presents.
And greetings to all your friends
From far and near, the annual chore
with notes enclosed for catching up
on family news and sometimes more.
With high hopes for the coming year
Let's make it better and forget
what's past and look ahead
and for a good race, let's get set.
