My New Year Resolutions
My new year resolutions are solutions for the soul
My changing evolutions for a lack of self-control
My ready revolutions for a day of liberty
Are heady substitutions for the way I wish to be
Number one is living for the lover in my life
The fun I may discover is the cover to my strife
The wife may not believe me and the changes that she sees
Like pirates munching carrots for the parrots munching peas
Number two is goodbye to the surplus in my house
The clutter is my purchase and the purpose of a louse
You could not fit or fling a ring for everything I kept
I guess I’m just a ding-a-ling for how my body slept
Number three is I will be more healthy than I am
To be less sick for those I trick who see me as a clam
To eat my foods in interludes of meals more than snacks
And beat the broods of hungry dudes who favor me on racks
I know the institutions will be proud of what I do
And I will be committed for a day or maybe two
My new year resolutions are the pride in how I feel
Like all my contributions to the dietary zeal.
