It\'s as you were

Now that Christmas has gone with it\'s Good Will to all Men;

Singing \'Auld lang Syne\' by the Chimes of Big Ben. 

The giving of Presents where the Mistletoe hangs;

To the Toast to the Year with the Joining of Hands -

It all starts again, take your Partner\'s and dance;

Like the disquiet and Hate from a failing Romance.

As by Old Father Thames those Members will shout;

Such Howler type Monkeys flinging it about.

The Threats and the Snarls from a Country or two;

Changing the Borders that some Cartographer drew.

A fist in the face for I don\'t like your Skin;

And as for your faith, Oh where to begin.

So it\'s now as you were like the year gone before;

It\'s the Trade of the Fool to expect anything more.
