Resolutions

Last year I resolved to lose some weight
To be more careful in filling my plate
It lasted three days
Then back to old ways
Next year I’ll just accept my so rotund fate….


I don’t think New Year’s resolutions are such a bad thing
It’s like planting ideas and thoughts to bloom in the spring
If even small changes are made, who could ask for more
But forget that weight thing: lose that one before reaching the door...



Forgive the mixture of forms, I couldn't resist.
