New Year's Poem: 2010 is When?

Linda Louise Johnson

2010 is when?

Now you say?

But wasn't it '09 just the other day?

How do these years get away?

Now I'll write my checks all wrong

and feel as if I don't belong

just 10 years past the gong

of the millenium.

I'll be crossing out the date

like I did after '08

learning to write '09 so late

it was pandemonium.

Now I'll be doing it again

only this time with oh - ten

and that will be distressing, friend

and deplete my seroton-ium.

When I finally get the whole thing down

saying two thousand ten all over town

2011 will roll around.

It's just draconian!

    I agree. I didn't even know what to call it, two thousand ten, twenty ten? Then I heard people calling it both. Phew! One less thing to worry about.
