Not Another Resolution
Here we go with a New Year’s resolution
Deciding to make a change or start over
Forever arriving at the same conclusion
Were you intoxicated and now sober
Even if we design it or stamp it into a stencil
Take an oath that we will see it to the end
Never write it down in black ink but in pencil
Waste a whole year but still seeking to extend
Not bringing it to fruition with an impulsive pledge
Most declarations or expectations fall by the wayside
In a month, if we start, we will push it over the edge
It may be outlandish, but we can say at least we tried
