You were nice

for a minute

and then things went awry

trouble started brewing

you gave mayhem

a try.

This whole entire year

caught us unaware

everything you brought us

belongs in a nightmare.

like

worldwide pandemics

and rampant wildfires

deaths, sadness, and manipulative liars

political messes

and all kinds of stresses,

cold-blooded killing and many a protest

shootings and racism and I can't even remember the rest ,

2020 my dear,

I hate to say it,

but you were an awful year

I commend your imagination

for the shit you've created

but at the same time what kind of sadist

would ruin a year so long awaited?

The things we had planned

that all turned to rubble

cancellations left and right

time to lockdown on the double.

We waited 365 days to be rid of this miserable year

that spawned nothing but hate, agony, and fear

So it is with pleasure, I deliver

a message so true

to 2020, I offer a final

fuck you.

Just like the years have passed

Just sod off, your time is up

Don't be sad, you already had your turn

Don't be mad, just welcome 2021.

Don't cry, I know you did your best

Don't get angry, I am sorry that it isn't enough

Just sod off, your time is up, understand?

Just a final thing, you won't be missed by many.
