A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

I promise myself not to drink again,
unless I can bring myself home when drunk. 

I promise to no longer smoke cigarette 
for, there's tobacco in a pipe. 

I promise to always go home early from night out
before the sun shines the next day. 

I promise to laugh always from now on
unless, I'm just alone. 

I promise not to bit more than what I can chew 
for, there is porridge and stew.
