First, there's a two
It could stand
For you and me
Then, there's a double zero
It could stand
For the empty eyes
Of those who will not see
Finally, there's the eight
Which could mean
That we're stuck
Behind the Eight-ball
But, if you lay it on it's side
It could also mean
That we're dancing
On the edge
Of Eternity

Happy New Year, All!
