If I were to make a New Year's resolution, what would it be
My New Year’s Resolutions

I could resolve to smoke less,
But I don’t smoke.

I could resolve to drink less,
But I don’t drink.

I could resolve to eat less,
But then I would be skinny.

I could resolve to organize more,
But I would drive everyone crazy.

I could resolve to read more,
But I already read two books a month.

I could resolve to clean more,
But then I would wear out my home.

I could resolve to exercise more,
But I can’t get out of my wheelchair alone.

I could resolve to listen more,
But I lost my hearing aides in the snow.
(I’ll find them in the spring).

What else?
Oh, yes!

I could resolve to tell the truth more,
But then--I don’t lie!

Perfection.

That’s what I resolve for the New Year—Perfection.
