New Year’s Revolutions
written by: Roger Turner
@titansdad
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions
I make revolutions instead
The only way to keep from failing
Is to start the New Year dead
Losing weight, working out
I might even join a gym
But come December of the coming year
I still have not reached slim
I’ll be nicer to my boss, and wife
I’ll do more chores around the house
I always say this every year
But, I’m still reminded by my spouse
I’ll save more money, start a fund
Take the family on a trip
But come July and August
I’ve let the travel savings slip
A New Year’s resolution
Is a failure from the start
I have come to the conclusion
I’ve set the horse before the cart
By early spring the moneys gone
All my great ideas are broke
So, since I’m not succeeding
This year I’ll start to smoke
You may ask me why I don’t
Like to call them resolutions
It’s because you make the same each year
And that’s a revolution
One year, a circuit, twelve whole months
And I’m back right where I started
I might set out to change my life
But in truth, I only farted
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions
I make revolutions instead
The only way to keep from failing
Is to start the New Year dead
