Poem - Christmas is gone.
Christmas is over.
Now that Christmas has come and gone
The presents opened, the wrapping paper gone.
Did you get what you wanted,
or is there something, that you still want?
I know that we ask for material things
A computer, video game, or push-along scooter
But what about those who are ill
Will they be out before this New Year?
1 Million Minutes the pledge goes on
But what are MPs doing to help this along?
Have they got the doctors back,
so they, not contractors take up the slack?
I don’t want to finish the year
where I left off, waiting in a queue,
Fighting the list like everyone.
I must be somewhere near the top
It was this time last year, that I was still beating a gong.
Can we make 2024, the year that we simply take the lead
And show others what we need.
It is not only about finance and how to manage
But help with treatment we never had.
Before I shake this mortal coil,
I have one more wish to make
To make this government accountable
For the mess where in.

OBV,
(Of course it isn't really )
We'll be debating whether decorations come down on the 4th or 6th January and we'll see Christmas reductions on sale for weeks yet.
Eventually, someone at the council will notice the street decorations need to come down too..
I appreciate your poem and I'm looking forward to New Year celebrations with the big day behind us now

Its not all gloom and doom, and the poem is meant to reflect the year of struggle.
But I have plans for the future where history will speak for itself. I am looking to make a wish for the New Year. How about you? Something that will last longer than 30 Minutes? Dam, I have to think of another one now.....
No, only joking have you thought about your New Year's resolution yet? Post what you are going to try to do...... or not do.... (That plenty of SCOPE, (no pun intended))
