The winds are blowing oh so strong.
Why should you brave the elements?
Consider this where you belong.
Drop what has no relevance.
Yes, join the guests. You were eagerly expected,
So please do make yourself at home.
As for the rest? They are all dearly respected,
But only you get the poem.
Long after they are well on their way,
Our mutual affections qualified,
The new year will be mere days away.
Why not stay to ring it in side by side?
Oh yes, do spend your holiday with me -
And the new year too, as the case may be.
