The Last Shall Be The First Hoorah

The last shall be the first hoorah
Celebrating Epiphany outside in the cold
Fahrenheit plus 21 equals Celsius minus six
Jamón Iberico y queso Manchego y barras de pan
Cocido Madrileño and Spanish Chocolate
Bonfire roared under stars, planets, clouds
The last celebration of holiday cheer
The first hoorah in the new year
