An Ode To 2022

Oh 2022,
You had your ups and downs,
In the end you were like a rose,
You bloomed and blossomed,
Then you wilted and died,
The ball dropped when the clock hit twelve,
Setting off a Big Bang,
Although your demise was met with cheers and applause,
Your memories will have a special place in our hearts,
You brought Argentina the World Cup,
And the deaths of our favourite sports legends,
You steered the ship very well,
But now it’s time to give 2023 a chance to shine,
Happy new year,
You will be cherished,
Goodbye
