Just for the record, that’s not me! – Picture produced by Ai.
Last year, they say, is history.
The new year, is just a mystery. No
So, as we ponder what’s in store
Before we open New Year’s door,
Reflect on what we’ve done.

First, last year’s resolutions
Our world changing revolution
Was set last New Year’s Eve,
And what did we achieve?
…nothing.

That suit that didn’t fit last year
Won’t fit again I somewhat fear.
But this year will be different,
Without meaning to be vociferant,
…I’m still fat!

My running gear looks so forlorn
It cost a fortune but was never worn
It hangs across the back of a chair
It’s saying to me, “don’t you dare,
Go running!”

When I say run, it’s more a jog,
Well actually, I walk the dog
But obviously not too fast
I like my exercise to last
…while snacking.

So, diabetes here I come
Nursing my slightly overlarge tum
Not to mention the size of my bum
As to chocolate, I succumb.
..a soupçon.

Resolutions are just so bad
They set up every fail I’ve had
So, this year I made none
This year I actually won.
…no idea what though.
Please note, that this is a humorous poem, it in no way reflects me or my lifestyle! I’m thin, fit, handsome, modest and in denial.

I love this, Joseph. I am not one to make resolutions. I set mini-goals during the year. I will add your link once I publish my prompt post tomorrow. ❣️That’s a pretty hefty guy and I am glad you clarified it isn’t you. LOL
