New Year's Resolutions

January 2nd and it’s packed in the gym New Year's resolutions have brought them in Many in shiny new work out gear Determined to finally get in shape this year January 15th and never seen again It’s hard to maintain that resolution Excuses are worn in place of gym shoes Pounds regained are more than what they loose When swimsuit season comes later in the year Some, once again, will pull out their gear One more crowded week to battle the bulge fear Before away from the gym and toward the beach they steer The regular crowd who comes in every week Knows these two occasions when the crowds will peak And patiently wait for machines to become free Knowing in just one week the gym will be empty

During the first week of January, I couldn't even find a parking space at my local club. So I got a little more exercise and burned off a few calories by walking to the place. Good descriptive verses with fine rhyming.
