Written, December 17, 2023 For The Contest: Funny New Year Resolutions For 2024 Sponsor, Constance La France
~1st Place~
Come soon, at the end of this year, the new one will follow- with drear for promises to change things I will do; resolve to step up brings on fear! It seems this is doomed to work out! I make my list- then, with no doubt a month may go by with changes, comply- but soon after, know I will pout! My promises all go astray! I cling to my old standard way of living my life with peace and less strife; my new resolutions soon fray! As long as I do what I should instead of now adding “I could.” Keep doing my best to meet my own test not reach for the prize of sainthood! Ba humbug to changing my thought to fill a tradition not sought! Resolve to stay me like I'm meant to be as my eighty-four years have wrought!
