Resolutions

Resolutions more resolutions
Better than not having none

Make it a % game
No excuses so lame

Don't expect a 100%
At least achieve some

At year's end you're done
See!  It can be fun

Lamenting and regretting
For breaking resolutions yet again

Will be a thing of the past
Have a big laugh

The idea is
Double the no. and insist

That I’ll break only half
But diligently do the rest a must

Then your conscience is clear
To welcome the New Year!

Happy New Year every one
2011 has been much fun!

  1. haha a good way to look at it indeed
    Just as you said on my feed
    Make up nice and easy ones
    And then you can complete tons
    Throw a hard one in
    And try not to let it go to the trash bin
    But don't wait and just get it done
    Then one can go on to have some fun

  2. Thanks a lot Pat
    Pat Hatt and the Cat
    You've been such an inspiration
    For in my 2012 resolutions
    To write lots of poetry
    Hope not to go awry

    And as you've said, when it's all done
    We laugh together for all the fun

  6. Hank, you definitely have some good points. Make a ton of resolutions, and you are bound to be able to keep some of them. I love that philosophy. Happy New Year to you, Hank!

  14. I like that one of your 2012 resolutions is to write lots of poetry -- your poetry needs to be written so others can read it! :)

    Lovely to meet you in 2011 -- look forward to getting better acquainted in 2012 -- one of my resolutions is to connect more with people I meet through my blog to let them know how much I appreciate their stopping by -- I appreciate your stopping by! :)

    Happy New Year!

  17. Nice job on the resolutions theme!

    Happy New Year! And thanks for all your fun contributions to my 2011 Limerick-Offs!

    Not surprisingly, the one I just posted has a New Year's theme.
