New Years Day 2010 Poem

No Resolutions for Me This Year

Cathy A Montville
New Year's Day will come full tilt
I'll eat prime rib without the guilt
Potatoes heaped with sour cream
No diet will be in this scheme

My strategy is "not" to win
Those chocolates will not be a sin
That wine has sugar, yes I know
I just don't care, so let it flow

No gym for me, please don't look glum
I kind of really like my bum
You think it's just a bit too wide?
Never mind...I'll decide

This New Year I will place no bets
No skinny jeans, I like my sweats
I will not take a silly oath
To stop the habits that I loath

Ah, this New Year will be sweet
Lots of baked goods and red meat
Pressures off, no lies to tell
I am on course...straight to Hell!

Happy New Year Everyone!

    I LOVE this poem and totally agree. We reach an age where the only person we have to please is ourself.

    LOL. Totally funny. I've always lived my life like I wanted. Lucky for me I liked veggies, fruit and exercise.

    Totally on board with you, Cathy! Life's too unpredictable, so I eat dessert first! Happy 2010!
