There once was a guy who would constantly lie and spread hate but had nothing significant to state in speeches, and sealed his fate.

He could have focused his energy on serving the people and his nation but instead filled his own pockets and the space he referred to as the swamp. This empty suit wasted his entire life with gaudy excess and nonsense. Most intelligent people saw right through his fake tan, hair, and meaningless stare.

Auld Lang Syne 

“Auld lang syne” is the title and key phrase of a 1788 Scottish poem typically sung on New Year’s Eve around the world. The phrase “auld lang syne” literally translates to “old long since” and basically means “days gone by.” Or “the good old times.”

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and old lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

Happy New 2022
