A Merry Minuet for the New Year ...

They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain,
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain.
The Whole world is festering iwht unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like Anybody very much.

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off-
And we will all be blown away

They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow Man.

Merry Minuet, the (1958)
Song: Sheldon Harnick
Artist: The Kingston Trio

A fifty years old song to celebrate the end of 2008 and onset of 2009!
And here is the trailer of the movie to watch in the New Year.

Welcome 2009!

New Year!

Another year passed by!
Like always nothing-has-been-done feeling engulfed on the new year eve; usual new year resolutions, which are soon forgotten!
