Welcome to My Life

Rest In Peace 2013

Good-bye 2013,
even if our relationship was a bit troubled,
it was nice knowing you.

I only hope
that in your departure from Earth
that you can find peace
on the Planet of Yesteryears
and have a better relationship with the inhabitants of that world
then you had with the citizens of this one.

As we gather here today waiting for the departure of 2013, I ask everyone to raise a cup of cafe mocha to the departing year. I know that it's been a difficult time for everyone here, but all the difficulties was not the fault of the year. To paraphrase Shakespeare, "The fault, Dear People, is not in the year, but in our...." (please, place the name of the institution you blame for the difficulties you've experienced during 2013 here). So raise you hot (or cold) cups of cafe mocha (or whatever your prefer to toast with) to 2013 as he lies languishing his bed of pain. Cut down, not by a snipers bullet or a car bomb, but by the ravages of worry and extreme old age.

Rest in peace 2013
my your aching bone find relief,
your gray hair and beard stop falling out
and your denture get relined
on the Planet of Yesteryears.
