A TRADITIONAL PRESENTATION

'Tis the day before New Years
and despite what youre hopin
The folks in the Boardroom
say the full day were open

So we'll buy and we'll sell
as the tape crawls along
And though "Bubbly's" verboten
we may still sing a song

Two Thousand and Ten
was okay but had bumps
til QE2 lifted prices
making shorts look like chumps

We finished up with a rally
that began in the fall
But unemployments still rising
thats hurting us all

We lost special people
as we seem to each year
It just makes us treasure
each one thats still here

Pink Panthers creator,
Blake Edwards is gone
Davey Crockett, Fess Parker
has also moved on

Dennis Hopper just rode off
on a heavenly bike
and we lost Gary Coleman
that sweet little tyke

And now Rue has joined Bea
for a Golden Girl fling
Will they ask Eddie Fisher
of his Papa to sing

Dandy Don put the lights out
his partys now over
And Patricia Neal left us
for some heavenly clover

Robert Byrd, Senates senior
is with us no more
The same can be said
of NPRs Robert Schorr

Bobby Thomson became
a celestial tenant
His historic homer
gave the Giants a pennant

John Forsythe joined some angels
but this time theyre real
And Elaine from Elaines
has served her last meal

Holden Caulfields creator
has dissed his last phony
Lynn Redgraves gone too
had three bids for a Tony

Jimmy Dean joined Gods choir
as did Lena Horne
Her beauty and talent
would brighten each morn

Leslie Nielsen from Airplane
is no longer alive
As is Beavers mom, Barbara
who they taught to talk jive

An earthquake in Haiti
one of this years events
Ten months since it happened
folks are still living in tents

And out in the Gulf
a well blew its top
It took months and much money
to get it to stop

Pakistan saw real flooding
making wheat fields a pool
Al Gore split with Tipper
I guess sometimes things cool

And General McChrystal
resigned on the phone
After things that he said
showed up in the Stone

In Chile, some miners
got lost underground
The world watched in wonder
til they were safe and sound

There were bedbugs aplenty
and Wiki-leaks too
The i-Pad was a winner
among things that were new

A mosque near Ground Zero
produced flack and more flack
And some sexy Red spies
were packed up and sent back

Leno made room for Conan
but he soon changed his mind
And Lost finally got lost
as its ratings declined

In May came a Flash Crash
when computers ran wild
But some guys in their Dark Pools
just looked on and smiled

And over in Europe
they turned up the heat
As austere new budgets
brought mobs in the street

Republicans made gains
with some Tea Party backing
The Prez shrugged his shoulders
calling it a shellacking

A Florida pastor
let it all hit the fan
When he threatened on TV
to burn the Quran

North Korea was shooting
and made a missile threat
To nuke South Korea, but
it aint happened yet

Mel Gibson went Mad Max
on the phone he did rant
Tiger got a divorce
but to win he just cant

Let not this year's memories
of sadness or sleaze
Disturb you this day
just give your heart ease

Have faith that this New Year
will bring a new sign
And believe in yourself
it will all work out fine

Just lift up your spirits
and some fruit of the vine
And kiss ye a loved one
and sing Auld Lange Syne

And late in the evening
as you watch the ball fall
Wish yourself all the best
Happy New Year to All!!
