New Year’s Resolutions are something I quit making What with the road to hell and all that about good intentions I estimate I paved my way close enough (Unintentionally, of course) So what with new beginnings and all that about today being the first day of the rest of my life… I’d rather not pick January one with sweets around to swear them off with ten pounds And well, about the smoking... I’m not making THAT promise I can’t keep for more than a week And God only knows I could do without all my damn swearing You know it is hard to give up drinking when you go out tipsy and come home sober just a few times a year The list goes on and on of what I won't resolve to do or give up without failure's stress The only resolution I've ever kept with success Is to never make one [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (12-29-2010 07:49 PM).] |

At some point in time you begin to learn how not to set yourself up for failure LOL! |

I love this. Although I have quit smoking, it wasn't because of any resolution. Dittos for quitting drinking except for one (1) glass 10.5 oz. about an hour before bedtime. Off and on with the diet. Never did make a resolution to quit swearing. Why should I? Swearing, at times, conveys what is needed to be said like no other way. Anyway, I enjoyed the poem and concur one hundred percent. To mimic is a form of praise unless you have no thoughts of your own |

A very clever and enjoyable read. Happy New Year and I raise a toast to your non-resolution resolution. Peace. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Nice one...  When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile... :D |
