 Taylor's 2009 New Year's Card Dad's 401(k) is now worth a mere pittance The stock market's tanking; our future looks dark Our country's transmission seems locked up in Park I'm feeling most pensive and now as I ponder The future, I see all the warnings and wonder If my generation will be the last one To have childhoods loaded with laughter and fun But then I remember -- a New Dawn is near It heralds the triumph of Hope over Fear Our nation decided to Change its direction By checking "Obama" in last year's election Even before he's been sworn in, it's clear We're returning to principles we once held dear We now have the green light to lead many nations From a place of True Strength that eschews isolation But enough with political pontificating The New Year is here and it's worth celebrating! Forget the bad news -- things will turn out just fine And I have Big Plans for Two Thousand and Nine Like making more movies on Daddy's old Mac And adding new lines to our Christmas train track I'm building inventions with solder and saw And working toward earning my black belt -- Hai-YAH! My folks are both making their own big plans too Dad's joining Deloitte on their consulting crew Mom the "Nutritioner" makes meals a treat And counsels her clients on good foods to eat They're P90X-ing and getting real buff And love ballroom dancing and other fun stuff There's much more to tell you before this poem ends But it's done -- HAPPY NEW YEAR Dear Loved Ones and Friends!
