No New Year's Resolutions For Me
No New Year’s Resolutions for Me
By Elton Camp
Who can resolve what they’ll do next year
When nobody even knows if they’ll be here
That I’d like to produce more income I confess
Considering the economy, it’s likely to be less
I could declare my intention to lose weight
But diet and exercise are things I sort of hate
I’d vow to become a lot more civil, too
But that’s extremely hard for me to do
I should promise to watch a lot less TV
But there are many interesting shows to see
Too much time I spend scouting the Internet
But becoming ill-informed I might regret
My Mercedes-Benz I really should sell
But I like driving a big car far too well
So, if any resolution I decide to create
It must be one easy so that I won’t hate
Something like, “I will always sleep to ten
And only after that will my day begin”
