IS YOUR 2008 DIET GOING GREAT?

IS YOUR 2008 DIET GOING GREAT?

Roger A. Davis

Many a New Year resolution it was
Overweight the reason because
Some just wanted looser jeans
Others, like me, were splitting their seams

Did you also say, “No more cigs”?
Or giving up those gambling gigs?
Whatever your this year’s hopes
God speed, escaping your addiction ropes

Now, if you had one like reading a good book
Or becoming a gourmet cook
Even with this, too, my prayers are with you
Yet, if things are in bad review

Do not throw in the towel
And get a bad attitude and scowl
Tomorrow is another day to start
From our good intentions, don’t depart

Hunker down in our foxholes of war
Then leap up and charge once more
For, if we keep at it, we will score
Victories as before
