How successful is the New Year's resolution? |
As I make resolutions on this New Year’s date, I resolve I will no longer procrastinate. And believe what I say since it comes from my heart; from now on I will finish whatever I start. For I’m tired of starting and leaving loose ends; there are highways in life and at times they have bends. But a bend in the road should be nothing to fear; so to finish the drive would make for a good year. I do not seek a yogi or man of the cloth to diminish my tendency to be a sloth. Thus I will not be lazy--I’ll finish the task; ye old procrastination wears yesterday’s mask. It takes minimal effort to put something off; I will now be a finisher though some may scoff. For if it is to be then it is up to me; this is my resolution, and will is the key. O I can hear the doubters like Thomas and Frank; but what I now aver you can take to the bank. I will strive to the finish and step with the beat; you will see no green grass growing beneath my feet. And to make sure my new resolution stays sure, I will add an ingredient and give a stir. It may seem rather odd but I think you’ll agree, (to be finished later.) Anapestic Tetrameter (24 Lines...more or less) |
