I make no apologies for the cloying style of writing, it's Christmas ... and as Andrew Lincoln almost said, in Love Actually, at Christmas you tell the schmaltz.
2013 has not been great
2013 has not been great
On the dole and a sad goodbye to my dog
But the future’s looking brighter
Even if that prince turned out to be a mere frog
Throughout all the days of worry
Depression, and fighting not to be bitter
I’ve just about kept my sanity
Thanks in no small part to Twitter
It’s like your favourite bar
Where everyone knows your name
However crap your day is
At least one person feels the same
The simple kindness of strangers
The support never ceasing to amaze
A few well placed words of cheer
Can brighten even the grimmest of days
It may be slated by many
Often portrayed as shallow and trite
It isn’t always friendly
And definitely isn’t always right
But the good outweigh the bad
And I feel I’ve made new friends
I hope I’ve given as much back
Paid my fair share of dividends
And so because it’s Christmas
The year’s end much better than it’s start
I’d like to thank every one of you
Each tweeter and tweet that played a part
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas
And a happy, healthy and prosperous new year
But even if it should go a little bit pear-shaped
We know we’ve got friends and laughter on here
