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
