Analysis of Happy New Year 2022



Lateral flow test is clear!
It’s the celebration of the year.
Got a cough and a sneeze.
Phew it’s the cold and I pray on my knees.

Headache and feeling weak?
Just a hangover after drinking for a week.
Sore throat and feeling hot?
Just from singing and dancing a lot.

Happy New Year to you from me.
Be as careful as carefree can be.
Rough tomorrow with Delta or Omicron?
Hope not it’s probably the Sambuca and Jägerbomb.
