™™™™
All years have to die
On Christmas Day
We didn't think as such
We revelled on the street
As though it was our last
Eating, drinking, sans masks
Selfies with painted pouts
Cigarettes on chaffed snouts
Most were lucky
Not having to see
A loved one suffer & die
Some were unfortunate
To bid farewell
To covered relatives
As the year lies on
Its deathbed wheezing
Gasping, old, weary
He still dons Santa cap
Fluffy white beard & hair
Unceremoniously ripped off
There is none at his bedside
Only two days of life remain
His last time will be painful
Gasping for a mouthful of air
Like a gas balloon
He'll go into timeless time
Leaving behind memories
Some bitter some sweet
Old 2020 calendars
All new gadgets are now old
They don't appear to attract
New ones will come along
Let's wish the old guy
A happy joyous goodbye
#yearend
Goodbye 2020

No one will miss 2020 very much. Here, we shoot guns on New Year's Eve until 12am. A lot of those bullets will be good riddance shots for that year. You got it captured nicely. A year of lies, loss, racists, and plague. It has to get better, we've pretty much hit rock bottom.

I have to wait until next summer for vaccine. Good luck to all of us!

Your lines are usually uplifting
and joyous. This time, this plague
brings truths inexoably forward.
I consider death and wait.
