My God, the year twenty-twenty-three
Needs to be put out of our mis'ry!
Russia is still trying for Ukraine
Wagner tried a coup that was just insane
Hamas and Israel are fighting
Jung-Un has nukes that are igniting
Sudan and Myanmar are splitting
Ninety ticks on Doomsday clock and ticking

Balloons keep floating in from China
While their cyber-attacks get finer
Musk's Starship makes (deliberate) wrecks
While he changes "Twitter" just to say "X"
Toxic waste spilling out of big trains
TiK Tok continues softening brains
Chat-GPT's smarts getting a big hike
Writers, auto workers, actors all strike

Man, what a year; it's been so hard
To not get angry, oh my God!
We're just relieved that it's almost through
Communism ran roughshod
Thanks to millennials, My God!
Antisemitism's up, too

Don Trump's in deep trouble legally
His empire's filing for bankruptcy
Jail time for messing with elections,
Or the chair for planning insurrections?
Biden is having his own problems
Son's parties racks up in-debt column
Meanwhile, GOP on Congress floor
Set to impeach him, just don't know what for

Kevin McCarthy was the Speaker
After nine months, he's seen as meeker
Mike Johnson, big-time MAGA, bleaker
Wants to be a Constitution tweaker
My God, Lauren Boebert is footloose;
Hand job on guy during "Beetlejuice"
Disney & Warner centennials
Superhero box offices are hell

Man, what a year; it's been so hard
To not get peevish, oh my God!
We're just relieved that it's almost through
"Cocaine Bear", "Barbie" and "Op-
"-penheimer" rule the web, My God
Oceangate's "Titanic" blow-through

FOX News lied about bad voting machines and got sued
Carlson screwed
Santos kicked out of House; now he's selling YouTubes
Grow up, dude
Bud Light won't turn you "trans", like green comets do
When in view
US women get paid but bomb in World Cup, too
Like men do

My God, the year twenty-twenty-three
Turned lots of celebs into hist'ry
Sheik, Graham, Wyatt and Terry Funk'll
Headline a heavenly Royal Rumble
Pee Wee, "Chandler" and "Dumbledore II"
Justice O'Conner, Dame Edna, too
Brown, Butkus will hike Bob Knight over
Barker, close to hundred, but not over

Somers, Welch and Lollobrigida
Richare Moll ducks under the bridge-a
The band is set: Turner, Lightfoot, Beck
Belafonte, O'Connoir and Buffet
MST3K's Bert I. Gordon
Marty Krofft didn't give Sid warnin'
My God, the death well's getting farther
Springer's telling God, "You ARE the father!"

Canada blew the U.S. smoke rings
Hawai'i's mountains blew everything
Iceland has turned into "Dante's Peak"
Mudslides, hurricanes, melting glaciers...EEK!

My God, this year I truly abhor
But, worse, next is twenty-twenty-four...
