Goodbye January

  Goodbye January
being my birthday month
expectations were so high
instead you made me cry
it's hard to believe
you were so cruel to me
I stare in disbelief
at what my January did to me

goodbye January
I will not miss you
may you take
all the tears right along
with you
Gifts like these
 I do not need
return to sender
if you please

goodbye January
I will not stand
in the window to wave
wishing you luck
I rather slam the door shut
on all that bad luck

goodbye January
may you never come back
you are not welcome here
remember that
goodbye January
scat !
