No fireworks

No kids get hurt

No whining cats and dogs

No fire runs

No worried mums

No stupid fisticuffs

No filth and trash

No cars that crash

No air and noise pollution

No house in flames

No money waste

No new year's resolutions

Let's have a five-course meal instead

And then collapse into bed

Let's have a bottle of champagne

Gingerbread and candy cane

Let's have our friends around

When there are stars and waves to count

Let's make it history

Just like James and Miss Sophie

Let's have a good night's rest

And then coffee and scrambled eggs

Let's hope this year's long gone

In memory of things to come
