I never spotted Wally there, till he took his glasses off.
The table footy was going well, till a player was sent off.
Then up on stage, Mary Jane, got mixed in with High Teas,
The music was great, you had to dance, or else you'd freeze.

There were men wearing dresses, and ladies wearing wigs.
Couples having fireside chats, and others taking swigs.
With beer on tap for all those hours, did any make the length?
Nothing in half measures, with Gandalf at max strength.

There were all the finest people, and Kim in the party mood.
A glass of bubbly gratis, and if you were quick, some food.
Hats off to the performers, bar staff, The Pogues and Kirsty.
For all the dancing, singing, talking, designed to keep us thirsty.

We went from Gandalf to Legolas, from a full to an empty glass.
Sung the first line of Auld Lang Syne, for the thirty-second time.
New Year at the Hobbit was the best, however you were dressed.
An experience not to miss, a chance to grab a New Years kiss.
