Poem : New Year’s Resolutions

It’s New Year’s Eve and people start
To make their resolutions
As if this is the source of all
Of life’s much sought solutions
They tell their friends they’re going to
Cut down and booze and smoking
They drink all night and smoke all day
You assume they are joking
They say that they will cut right back
On all those yummy sweeties
Then say the same when lent comes round
(That’s why they’ve diabetes)
But last year my resolution
Was not to miss a prompt
On Goodreads and I haven’t yet
(Even when I’ve been swamped)
So everybody listen up
My resolve was successful
So you can do it too this year
No matter if it’s stressful
