Nathanael O'Reilly #36 On the Last Day of the Year


On the Last Day of the Year

on the last day of the year
lists checked and crossed out
we vow to give up beer

not without a little fear
and the mandatory doubt
on the last day of the year

when the new year is near
and ideal selves devout
we vow to give up beer

when weigh-ins cause fear
and our bodies are stout
on the last day of the year

when ideals selves appear
there’s no time to pout
we vow to give up beer

we do not shed a tear
when the last bottle runs out
on the last day of the year
we vow to give up beer

  1. I think you deserve at least a beer
    but could always look into wine or spirits
    or a giant new year reefer
