West Hartford New Year’s Wishes

As 2011 is nearing its end
Some wishes for New Year’s to you I now send

May taxes stay level or even go down
Yet there be enough funds for business of town

May parking be free in the Center and Square
With plenty of spaces available there

May children score high on their standardized tests
May magazine writers still say we’re the best

May we dine outside late and drink beer and wine
With nary a worry about paying a fine

May dogs get their park and have someplace to “go”
And as to the busway let’s tell the state ”NO”

May your candidate win, the other one lose
May we once they’re done still have money to use

May the Democrats vote with fiscal reason
And Republicans get backbones next season

If you’re without job, may search be successful
If you’re employed may it not be too stressful

May all empty storefronts with new shops be filled
And all local shoppers with their wares be thrilled

May CL&P’s electricity flow
And the trees that lost limbs continue to grow

May the Mayan prophecy soon be reversed
And nothing happen December twenty-first

May trips to the doctor be easy and few
May you look great and feel great, lose some weight too

May your cupboards be stocked with favorite food
And your cup overflow with blessings and good

May loved ones be gathered in joy and delight
May you have a New Year that’s sunny and bright
