Celebrations abound throughout the world
With various customs to renew
But always remember to heed well
The things that are taboo
Do not utter negative words
And jinx yourself to misfortune
Do not clean away bad luck
Sweep if you must with caution
Do not break a glass or cup
It will shatter all prosperity
And do not use anything too sharp
It cuts off wealth promoting austerity
Do not demand repayments
It brings bad luck to both involved
Do not fight or cry
Things should be peacefully resolved
Avoiding self-medication
Promotes good health for the coming year
But do not give clocks or watches as presents
It indicates that the end of a life is near
So, whilst each hosts a different animal
All with various traits to claim
Remember the things that really should not be done
Will always remain the same
