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.
