New Year Old Resolve

"I feel the most ridiculous resolution
is the one you have to make more than once......just saying" 




I have a list quite lengthly
That I've composed this year
Of things that I would like to change
To a path I would not veer
A rock upon, to build my wall
And staunchly never budge
And start to lose this excess weight
Right after Christmas fudge
And maybe just a piece of cake
And a slice of home made pie
A couple little cookies
Couldn't add much to my thighs
That Christmas pudding "Oh My God"
Can't let that go to waste
Won't add to suborned belly fat
Just to take a taste
"YES" I can't wait to New Years day
With "The Past" over my shoulders
Unless of course on New Years Day
I have to eat Leftovers
