Thoroughly Poetic Pictorial Post #3

Today we join Two  SPOILED CAT 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

New Year's Eve is the photo Angel Sammy and his brudder Teddy selected this week.

New Year's Eve

*First Night is what we call here in the City of Oaks.
The celebration starts in mid afternoon for kids and old folks
(who fall asleep at ten in their den).
The peeps have never been.
The crowds of crazy womens and mens running around like banshee hens
would surely send them over the deep end.
They sometimes watch it on the TVeees.  
Just before the stroke of midnight in town.
A crane begins to lower a ginormous metal (oak) acorn down to the ground. 
Yep you read that right an oak acorn and that is no joke. 
Addendum:
There was doubt about its appearance this year.
A careless bloke was moving it to be cleaned up.
The chain broke and holy acorns it fell with a bang
it got dented on the side and some of the metal bent.
Acorn EMS was called to the scene.  External damage minor
but repairable was declared.

Below is an excerpt from a recent news story it gives you some stats on 
the acorn.

Crews hit a snag with what may be the one acorn in the city they want to keep from hitting the ground.

Workers on Wednesday postponed their efforts to relocate the 1,250-pound, steel acorn from Moore Square to South Salisbury Street when the sculpture didn’t fit on a new base its artist had designed for it.

The 10-foot-tall, 8-foot-wide acorn is used during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in City Plaza.

The city had invited the media to watch crews relocate the acorn from Moore Square, where it had stayed since 1991, to a spot in front of the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts.
