No resolutions for me this year

Even if I were to make them

We know most of us break em

Yes, by the end of the month, I fear

Every year, I make them; some are a real gem

And why would this year be any different?

Remind me of one I didn’t break; just a bit vociferant!

Some did bring a tear

Really thought I would be better at this by now

Even though my record is so low, even with the vow

Sometimes I think I will succeed, only to fail

Okay, I’m not going to jail

Luckily, I am usually the only one to know

Until this year, I plastered it all over, so

This is the year my resolution will mean something

It is PUBLISH

Oh, how I hope to find a publisher, and not self-publish

No, either way, this book will be published this year!
