millennium

 Once upon a time of fear
 man began to count the year,
 starting at the number one,
 based on the birth of Mary's son.

 The problem was the child was born
 before the date set as the dawn,
 and so the scene was set to be
 some time out of reality.

 And so the date we deem to be
 the beginning of each century
 is one year out because our hero
 decided not to start with zero.

 Two thousand  years on and still man insists
 that zero year could not exist,
 so friends it seems we have a dilemma
 as to when to begin the new millennia.

 And so mankind, against all reason,
 starts the count of this new season
 for those who rule the mighty dollar.
 Most of man will meekly follow.
