Reflections on the Passage of Time
This section offers witty reflections on how quickly time passes, reminding us to find humor in the fleeting nature of life.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Where do the years go, my dear, I wonder,
Do they vanish in a cosmic blunder?
Like socks that vanish from the dryer's heat,
The years go missing, vanishing complete.
Yet still we say Happy New Year! with cheer,
As though it's victory, not loss we hear.
Perhaps, my dear, it’s simply our way
Of embracing change and finding joy each day.
New Year Quotes
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
The clock strikes twelve, the ball descends,
Another year begins, my friends!
But wasn’t it just yesterday,
We cheered in last year’s grand display?
Time’s a trickster, quick and sly,
A calendar thief who zooms right by.
One moment here, the next it’s gone,
Where did the past twelve months move on?
Yet let’s not mourn the time we lose,
Instead, we’ll laugh and share our news.
For while the years may sprint and dart,
Humor keeps the youth in heart!

New Year’s Resolutions: Trials and Humor
These poems poke fun at the universal struggle of sticking to New Year’s resolutions, with relatable and lighthearted humor.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
On New Year's Eve, the clock strikes twelve,
I make resolutions all by myself.
To change my ways and start anew,
But deep down I know it won't come true.
I vow to exercise, hit the gym each day,
Yet my couch becomes my permanent stay.
My resolution blues, they make me sigh,
For once again, it was all a lie.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
This year I’ll jog, I’ll eat no pie,
I’ll wake at dawn and touch the sky!
But wait, is that leftover cake?
Perhaps these goals were a mistake.
The gym’s a thought — oh, maybe not,
This couch is such a comfy spot.
So here’s my plan, I’ll keep it true:
Next year, I’ll resolve to stick to a few!

Laugh at the financial woes of the post-holiday season with these funny takes on New Year budgeting struggles.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Christmas is over, New Year is here,
But the bills start rolling in, oh dear, oh dear!
Santa’s gifts and decorations were grand,
Now it's time to pay, with wallet in hand.
Credit cards groaning with weight and strain,
Oh, this new year's beginning feels like a pain!
Yet let’s laugh at this financial rhyme,
For humor is what makes it all fine.
Funny Quotes
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
The gifts were grand, the feast was fine,
Now my bank account’s on a steady decline.
The credit card groans, "Oh, what a spree!"
As I clutch my coffee — can't afford the fee.
Budget plans? Oh, they sound so sweet,
Until January’s bills knock me off my feet.
But hey, who needs savings? It’s all in good cheer!
Let’s just start fresh - maybe next year!

A Humorous Look at the Year Ahead
Explore a whimsical and humorous perspective on the months ahead, capturing the quirks and surprises each one brings.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
As the clock strikes midnight, we cheer,
Happy New Year, the day is here!
But wait, what's this I fear?
12 months ahead, and we're one year older, dear!
January brings resolutions anew,
February's chocolates make us forget a few.
March comes in like a lion, rawr!
April fools us with pranks galore!
May makes us wonder where time goes,
June brings summer, sunburns and woes.
July has fireworks lighting up the sky,
Oh my, oh my, how time does fly!
So here's to the year that lies ahead,
Let's face it with laughter instead.
With humor as our guiding light,
We'll tackle each day with all our might!
New Year Toasts
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
January’s cold, with frost in the air,
February’s chocolates ease the despair.
March winds howl, they blow and they bite,
April fools us with jokes (not always polite).
May blooms flowers, but allergies too,
June brings the sun — and a burn or two.
July has fireworks lighting the night,
August melts us with heat’s delight.
September pencils, October’s a scare,
November’s turkeys fill the air.
December wraps it in glittery cheer —
And suddenly, poof, it’s another new year!

Short Humorous New Year Poems
Short, punchy, and full of laughs, this section features quick poems to bring a smile to your face as the New Year begins.
We make them, then they fade away.
But this year, I will do my best,
To keep them all, and pass the test!
But by 12:01, I'm already here.
Eating snacks, what can I say?
New Year's diet starts another day!
My alarm clock's ringing, oh, if I only knew.
Waking up early, that was the plan,
But my bed's so cozy, I'm a big fan!
But I'm in my PJs, a comfy sight.
Who needs parties, all that fuss?
New Year's Eve is for Netflix and us!
But by January's end, they're often missed.
So this year, I've made a new decree,
I'll keep my resolutions, I won't forget quickly.
Poems About New Year's Eve
New Year's resolutions, they're all attacked.
But I'm on the couch, chips in hand,
Watching TV, oh, ain't life grand?
But I'll snooze my alarm, that's the way.
No early riser, no morning run,
But a new day to have fun!
But I've got hot cocoa, so I'll be okay.
No diets for me, that's the rule,
I'll eat marshmallows until I'm full!
But I'll take it slow, with a grin.
No rush, no stress, just laughter and cheer,
I will look forward with no fear!
