Column Chronicles: For auld lang syne, 2022

For auld lang syne, 2022

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
If we sing auld lang syne?

And surely you'll remember not
Those never brought to mind
All acquaintance we forgot
When we sang auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
The past will rot for sure, my dear
When we sing auld lang syne

We leave what's left of then behind
Like gas passed in the wind
What stench remains is not from us
But from the auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We know not what it means just yet
But we sing this auld lang syne

And now here's twenty twenty three
Still long and undefined
And auld acquaintance is forgot
As we sing auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
To you, up yours, to me, up mine
When we sang auld lang syne
