Julie Andrews will not be singing "So long, farewell", this year

2016 This year We lost: King (of golf) Prince A Princess, of a far away galaxy A Professor of the Dark Arts A Starman A Candy Man A First Lady A Lovely Lady An Eagle A Fish And A Singing Nun And we mourn Because they entertained us. But we also lost 14 members of the military 138 police officers And 89 firemen And we mourn Because they protected us. But even more importantly a lot of us suffered personal tragedies. And for me, that made this the worst year ever. Yet, there were some Reasons to celebrate Because this year: We found a vaccine for ebola. The United States had it's first woman presidential candidate. Green sea turtles, white tailed deer, grizzly bears, and giant pandas have been taken off the endangered list. For the first time in 100 years, the number of tigers in the wild has increased. Measles has been totally eradicated from the Americas. and The Chicago Cubs won the World Series! Was it the best year? Good God, no! But it wasn't the absolute worst either. Still, I'm glad we can finally say goodbye to 2016. And I DO hope the door hits it on it's ass on the way out.
