What holds true for the New Year
That things ought to be better
Let's see the smorgasbord on offer
That's it! New Year resolutions galore
But one went through the works
This year, the year before even
Some changes yes, changes that quirk
Were there really learning points?
Well, not to be too hard on oneself
Imagine to covert within 365 days!
Work on percentages and change a little
Then it'll be a forgiving year to face
Happy New Year everyone
2012 gave lots of fun!
