Sayonara 2009

As the year comes to end, I can't help but rejoice. I don't know about all of you, dear readers, but my 2009 seemed to come straight out of a Lifetime drama. So in honor of the worst year of my life... I give to you... A poem.

2009
By Jessica J. Saggio

Oh 2009, I thought you'd be great
Instead you just gave me more people to hate

The lying, the cheating, people dying, oh my
Oh geeze I could use a dang slice of pie
Or vodka, or whiskey, Kahlua or rum
Anything but SoCo, my ex ruined that fun

Rum and fun don't really rhyme, but I just don't care
Oh btw, did I mention I stopped dying my hair?

I graduated from college, what a buzz-kill THAT was
And I watched 172398473928 people get engaged, including my cuz

I looked and looked for that one special job
But alas this economy made me feel like a big, worthless blob.

So I started a blog and doing some art
That's about as good as it gets, thank God for that part

I moved home after college and discovered that sucks
So I picked up and left feeling quite like a schmuck.

I moved to a city not too far away
But it's ghetto and raunchy, but oh well, what the hay.

2009 you taught me to hate cancer
And the fact that we don't always get a positive answer
To things that go wrong or not in our favor
But life's a short thing I guess we just have to savor

Here's to 2010 a year of growth and of fun
To new beginnings and appreciating what we've become
To a year of good fortune and health and more money
I swear I started out with the intent of making this post funny (fail)

When the clock strikes 12 and the ball drops in Times Square
I'm telling you right now I'm going back to dying my hair
And feeling happy and upbeat and going after what's best
Down with the old, goodbye to the rest

As I end this stupid poem I pray for you all
A great 2010 where you stand and don't fall
More jobs and more hope, more peace and more shoppin
2010's a coming so let's get it poppppinnn

Happy New Year Errebody!!!!!!
