Courtesy of my iris buddy Suzanne, we have the time to learn the words of
Auld Lang Syne prior to New Year's Eve.
I hope you all have a nice and safe new year and that all your wishes come
true. All in all it was a good year for us.
Happy New Year
Mar sin leat,
Jack, Nancy

Or how about this:
We know a man named Mr. Lang,
And he has a Neon sign,
And Mr. Lang is very old,
So we call it "Old Lang's Sign"
