My Solution

Maybe, I'll lose weight and say no to cakes
By doing so, my belly will go flat, real flat
Okay, I'll do this now-- no turning back.
Wait, next week, this vow will start like cold turkey;
Hmm, that's still too hard. Let me change that!

I won't gobble much again; I won't I say
That lavish meals, snacks will be cut from the list.
My solution is to pick only what is best, occasionally;
Well, I might just have a few when I feel blue
Meaning,  everyday of the month, resolutions never done!



New Year's Resolution, Regina Riddle
