The New Resolution

On New Year's Eve I was a wreck,
I didn't have a shot...
fearing I would get extremely sick
and spill out my gut.

I went out without a coat 
gloves, scarf and hat,
thinking it was still Fall;
the harsh wind blew everywhere,
even walking was tough. 
I reached home before nightfall,
and drank hot tea to relieve 
the chills and the steady cough.
  
The new resolution is too unrealistic to keep,
I have to make changes to my diet: eat
more fruits and veggies, lose some fat
in my tummy and be as fit as an athlete;
I won't win a gold medal, but staying fit
it's worth my time and effort...wish me luck!
