2015 in Song


So long 2015!!  I won’t miss you.  It’s not that I’m not grateful for the good things that happened but overall the bad things greatly outweighed the good.  


Sing to the melody of Auld Lang Syne

Goodbye to year two thousand, fifteen
I am glad to see you go
You brought me sickness, heartache too
You’re the worst year that I know

They filled me full of drugs all year,
They examined me every day
They poked and prodded everywhere
They made me sick in every way

My sickness goes on for many months
I pretend that all is fine
My doctors truly want to help
For a cure, I’m just on time

The bills have topped a million dollars
My share is one hundred grand
If I sell my children and my house
I can pay for most in hand

My car went dead this year for good
My house needs work done now
I’ll pitch a tent that’s close to school
And eat Ramen for my chow

But friends and family have reminded me
That I’m not in this alone
I’ve embraced the kindness bestowed on me
It’s sincere and brings me home

I spend a lot of time down here
Being lonely and sometimes sad
The outpouring of care toward me
Makes me feel the year's not bad

I’m stronger for the experience
The cure could be a month away
Two thousand, fifteen, I forgive
I’m getting better every day
