A New Years Prayer

Resolutions are fine, but just not enough
So I say a prayer when what I want is tough

For two thousand and twelve, I said a short prayer
Hoping to get help from the boss way up there

My prayer requested these two items from him
A fat bank account and a body that’s slim

Last year I asked for these two items in vain
I hope HE doesn’t get them mixed up again

Thanks for entering my contest Charles and congratulations on your HM. A nice, simple write that is both witty and creative. Yeah, I hate it when the adjectives get all mixed up.
