At this often festive time, near our New Year,
I wish you ALL a comfortable BIT of cheer, but
no more than a bit; cheer can be SO addictive,
and the future may be even MORE restrictive.
If it IS, you mustn't count on being cheery.
You might best plan for a future more dreary.
I, Bri, may turn to booze and smokes, to ‘survive'.
(I'd chase women, BUT my "thing" is barely alive.)
[ Ok, 'it' still gets USED, ‘bout five times per night,
when I get up to pee, which does NOT seem right! !
I've ‘made' TWO bedside urinals; both are plastic.
I could TRY just tying my thing off, with an ‘elastic'. ]
But, WAIT!There's good news; there IS still HOPE
….that the future will be just FINE, with NO need to
…..MOPE!

Thank you, Bri, for this wonderful offering. This year has been like no other. In this time of uncertainty, we need this kind of write to make us smile. I concur with your wonderful thought of sending hope to everyone here. May this season bring us joy and a great hope for a better tomorrow. A beautiful poem well conveyed. Entertaining and thoughtful.
