New Year is coming.
Time to make a resolution stick.
But what shall I resolve to do?
Better think of one quick.
I promise not to procrastinate.
On second thought, no way.
I promise to go on a diet.
Nah, I've tried it and went astray.
I promise to save up money.
Oh wait, I'm dead broke.
I promise to give up smoking.
Oh wait, I do not smoke.
I promise to write to my dear cousin,
But he's buried and in the grave.
I promise to take a razor
And finally have that shave.
I promise to sing in the shower
Where no one can hear my voice.
I promise to make decisions,
But it's hard to make a choice.
I promise to play an instrument.
Like that's ever going to occur.
I promise to end cancer
By discovering an unknown cure.
Okay, I've made enough promises.
They'll really never take place.
So I'm gorging on cake and pie.
I am a hopeless case.
