On New Year's Day

Schools and many stores are closed; Banks and barbers, too. If you need to buy some stamps, There’s nothing you can do. Docs and dentists do not work; The Market has no trades And you may find a door that’s locked At pool halls or arcades. It’s a day for chilling out, Relaxing in your home – The perfect time to make some calls Or read or write a poem. For New Year’s Day’s the last hurrah Before we’re back in gear. The holiday is over, as Tomorrow will make clear.
