New Year's Resolutions
As the clock strikes twelve, we cheer and shout,
New Year’s here, let’s figure it out!
With hopes in our hearts and dreams in our eyes,
We scribble resolutions, aiming for the skies.
**To exercise more**—that’s the classic goal,
Running each morning, feeling the soul.
*But after a week, the couch calls my name,*
“Just one more episode, it’s all part of the game!”
**Eat healthier too,** I vow with a grin,
Fruits and veggies, let the clean eating begin!
Yet somehow, pizza whispers sweet in the night,
“Just one little slice, it’ll be alright!”
**Read more books,** I say, stacking them high,
Pages waiting patiently, oh my, oh my!
But Netflix beckons with a binge-worthy show,
"Just one episode," then I’m lost in the flow!
My cat thinks she’s royalty, perched on her throne,
While my dog dreams of chasing squirrels—oh, how he’s grown!
The hamster’s plotting escape with a twitch of his nose,
Each day’s a new circus, with antics that pose.
Click, click, add to cart, oh what a fun spree!
“Just one more gadget, it’s perfect for me!”
But then comes the package—what’s this? A surprise!
Not what I ordered, but it’s a good size!
Oh, to-do lists piled high, like mountains of dread,
“I’ll start right now!”—then I’ll just rest my head.
A deadline’s a whisper, but Netflix is loud,
Procrastination’s my friend; I wear it like a shroud.
