New Year Resolutions

New Year Resolutions,
What a load of tripe,
People always make them,
Then give them up in fright.

What's the point in making,
Something that doesn't last?
Has it ever worked before?
For you in the past?

Diets and exercise,
Seem to be the way to go,
But you need to change your thinking,
Or your butt will continue to grow!

There's no point in trying,
For just the first few days,
Resolutions require commitment,
In a variety of ways.

So set your mind,
To what you want,
And set your goals,
You'll come out front.

Know yourself,
Keep true to your heart,
Or your resolutions,
May never start.

I, for one,
Don't hold with such rot,
Resolutions to make?
Not me! I will not!

Good luck to you,
If you decide to try,
Don't give up,
Keep your chin high!

Regardless of the result in the end,
Best wishes for 2013, my friend.
