At New Year, we ring out the old
And ring in the new.
Do we change on 1st January?
We may wake up with a hangover
We may wake up with a Resolution
That we may keep or maybe not.
We resolve to change our weight,
To eat less, exercise more. Do we?
We go to the hairdressers and change our hair.
But it does not really change the person.
For a change, we go to another country for our holidays,
But we choose to find the English Bar then Fish and Chips.
There are the internal changes, we grow up - we age
Adolescence makes the teenage years difficult.
For women, the aptly named ‘Change’
Does change us from confidence to nervousness
For men, they get their change, their mid-life crisis:
Which can have consequences as they try to regain youth?
And then, just for a change, I can mention the change
In your pocket…….
