New Years Revolution

New Years Resolution?
Heck no, I don't care

Making time to suffer
I see no reason there

Eat a little less
lose the sugar and the salt

Eat a good dinner
that's what i was taught

Try to get some exercise
maybe lose some weight

Really, I have no problem
with my plus size waist

Slow down with your drinking
it's really not that cool

How do I have a real good time
if I don't act a fool

Stop that crazy driving
cut down on the road rage

If they don't want to drive
they better get out of my way

You need to stop smoking
it's bad for your health

You need to stop talking
and worry about yourself

Well, this one made me smile! Talk about carpe diem... Kudos to you John! Live each day like it's your last! This reminds me of one of my favourite poems by McGough, when he says, "Let me die a youngman's death not a free from sin tiptoe in candle wax and waning death not a curtains drawn by angels borne 'what a nice way to go' death" All the best dear John, enjoy that greasy pizza and leave me some.. much love, maya
