Happy New Year

At the New Year the time has arrived

To make our lists of resolutions

Of all those efforts we've contrived

And plan our innovations

Now that Jan 1st has come

With past bad habits we've now done

Not to drive to work each day

But put on our trainers and jog all the way

Work off the backlog of Christmas excess

And make of our job a resounding success

In this new evolution...

To stop eating chocolate

And go to the gym

Not stay up too late

And keep healthy and trim

We will give up the smoking

And give up the drinking

On maturer reflection

It might be much simpler

Just to stop thinking

Remembering my mother's prophetic predictions:

She always claimed that the road to hell

Is paved with good intentions

Oh well - what the hell.....
