A Look Back at 2025
It’s that time again, a year to recap
We’ll end with a poem, and call it a wrap
So much in the news, some lows and some highs
A lot to discuss, so we’ll give it a try.
Trump re-elected, his last term they say
Or yet maybe not, if he had his way
Changes came swift, many of which hurried
Ask the Gulf of Mexico, who should have been worried.
Tariffs and trade wars, price increases of all sorts
But not American materials, just the imports
Markets were volatile, but avoided a rut
Inflation cooled down, and interest rates cut.
Weather at the forefront, for all to see
Floods in Texas, wildfires in Cali
But as the fire burned, and the water flowed
It tested our strength, and our resilience showed.
A ceasefire in Gaza, between Isreal and Hamas
While Ukraine and Russia, have suffered great loss
Pope Francis dies, no longer can ‘bless’
An American Pope named, Chicagoan no less.
AI Advancement, with cause for concern
Will jobs be lost, will money be earned?
But other advances, that brought folks some glee
One example of that, a pig gave a kidney.
Jeff Bezos wed, the ring delivered on time
Though maybe not, if it wasn’t on Prime
Kimmel suspended, and Colbert takes a walk
P-Diddy convicted, left to his cell block.
As holidays near, and the decade rolls on,
We toast to the days ahead, from dusk until dawn
From Maine’s rugged coast to Carolina’s bright shores,
We thank you—our clients—for the trust that endures.
