LE PREMIER JOUR DE L’AN
Les sept jours frappent à la porte.
Chacun d’eux vous dit : Lève-toi !
Soufflant le chaud, soufflant le froid,
Soufflant des temps de toute sorte,
Quatre saisons et leur escorte
Se partagent les douze mois.
Au bout de l’an, le vieux portier
Ouvre toute grande la porte
Et d’une voix beaucoup plus forte
Crie à tous : Premier janvier.
Pierre Menanteau

I'm going to come again to complain that your WhatsApp group shouldn't be full. There are always more student wanting to join. You should giv them that chance by making it possible for them to join. Always. Please.
