No Dead Bodies on the Lawn, Please
There are no dead bodies on the lawn at dawn
So the new year is beginning well enough
No worse than last year at least, when each day
Featured on the calendar of disappointments
There are no dead hopes on the lawn at dawn
The air is cool, the overcast is low
Early-morning silence promises peace
And squirrels are frisking in the front-yard oaks
There are no dead dreams on the lawn at dawn
But both the day and the year are new – just wait

I do hope the trend continues. Happy New Year Lawrence!
Our leaders don't see it that way.
