So here we are again

We have turned full circle

Or so it seems

But we have turned another year older

And no matter how we try

Our resolutions to change all that was

To all that we feel it should be

Only grow bolder

This year I will lose those vital pounds

Shedding like so much Christmas wrapping

Or the unwanted brightly coloured pullover

My Gran knitted with one sleeve longer than the other

I will go to the gym like I always do at the beginning of the year

Until my knees lock and my frozen shoulder

Freezes all over again

I will stop the booze for a whole month

Except for Friday’s maybe the occasional Saturday

When it’s a big event

And Sunday during lent

I will stop eating take aways

Kebabs Curry’s and Chinese

And promise myself more fruit

Well, that’s alright there is plenty

In a bar of Cadbury’s fruit and nut

If only

Because I need all of this like a hole in the head

Yet I need this

Because I might fade away and I could be dead

So, the paunch that launched a thousand lunches may well

Have to hang around until May when the weathers warmer

When my well being

Has found it’s spring

Whoopee

I will be jumping for joy

As those pounds fall off

As long as my knees

My neck back and shoulders will allow

In the mean time mines a double

Cheers
