To put on derby hat,

To see friends and enjoy excitement of general custom.

I bow to Happy New Year, I reverence all them things about it,

I rejoice, legally, I intoxicate, I syndicate my thoughts to all humanity-races—

And yet, to tell you honest true,

I do not care much for New Years time,

Because I do not.

Hoping you will be more wiser, if possible, next annual year and that all persons may be onto it, also, good-bye and some to friends,

Yours truly,

Hashimura Togo.
