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”
