There’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day

then you wait ‘till your hangover goes away,

there’s Martin Luther King and King’s birthday observed,

Ash Wednesday, Lincoln’s birthday, then your Valentine’s served;

we celebrate President’s, Washington’s, and St. Patrick’s days too,

after Good Friday and Easter, then March is through.

Then we change the clocks, there’s Mother’s day, too

then Memorial day comes and you bring out the bar-be-que!

There’s Flag  day, Father’s day, 4th of July,

and after Labor day, September’s gone by!

Rosh Hashana, Columbus, Yom Kipper, United Nation,

then, of course we have to change back our clocks, again.

World Series, Halloween, and you “get out and vote”,

then after Veteren’s day, there’s a Thanksgiving day float!

Next up? All holidays with a religious source,

Kwanza, Hanukah, Christmas, and Football, of course!

Spilling into next year, Christmas has put us in debt,

overtime will help, but what about that Super Bowl bet?!

There’s every birthday and anniversery you know,

add in your better half’s list-and watch your list grow!

Now from there your holiday list doesn’t end,

now you’ve got to multiply every list by your friend’s!

There’s not enough year-for this holiday dance,

maybe now you understand why I love my cats, and my plants.

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Holidays are a Mandelbrot Set.
