Time is ticking for sure,
With two days for midnight of new year-And people are trolling
About a midnight kiss with a cheer!But this is not a simple kiss,
Rather, it’s a security for love-
For the future years to come and go, Like a mating plan of dove!
Laughing and blushing incessantly
Is part of the chore-
Followed by drinking and dancing,
Till the clubs close the door!
Hopes for a romance engulfs
The drag queen in a rush-
While the knight looks for the night
To thicken and say the word hush!
So, out there, awaiting the midnight kiss, Whoever you are-
I send my best wishes to you,

The New Year’s kisser!!
