The New Year Jingle

=======================================================
You're not the sum total
of all your failures till yesterday,
You're what you'll be doing from now on...

The New Year will come and go
But with an assurance from you
That all your tomorrows will be better
than you expect to turn them into;
The New Year will be such a day for you!

Everybody is now ready
with her smiles and his goodwill,
Smiles now abound, and compete to reach you
You're welcome everywhere
with a small entry fee:
your smile.

How far to venture?
Oh, it's not a question to be asked now,
Just dash ahead
You've only one thing to loose:
Your begging bowl.
