Vomit spewing everywhere,
On her face and in her hair
Pretty girl of yesteryear
Dead drunk
Angry man at passing station
Does he represent the nation?
Fights his friend of yesteryear
Dead drunk
Unable to stand upright
rowdy reveller of the night
Damaged liver from yesteryear
Dead drunk
Singing loudly, beer in hand
Unconscious to their fellow man
Enforced ASBO yesteryear
Dead drunk
Unknown lovers, tongues entwined,
Hope burgeoning in their minds
Passions flowing from yesteryear
Dead drunk
Body falling out of dress
Breasts part displayed, what a mess
Clothed in food of yesteryear
Dead drunk
Going home on the tube
Surrounded by the crude and lewd
I thank the Lord that I am not
Dead drunk

I've always had an aversion ot NYE
it's like 52 Friday nights squashed into one. Everyone trying desperately hard to have fun. It doesn't mean I haven't been one of them, and done all of the above. This NYE I had worked hard physical work all day and had to do the same the next day, so all the celebrations were annoying.
But I woke up feeling better than I ever have on the 1st of January before.
Love the poem, don't care to quibble over minor matters of scansion etc if you will forgive me.
Your poetic reply was the first 2 lines
Happy new year xxxx
