Next Year's Solution Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Be more vocal
insight stoke
grow from local
go for broke.

Humour wise, kid
anyway,
from restraints rid
winning way.

Never hope fades,
great joys groom,
ideals meet grades,
all assume,

When bed beckons
in good time
sheep count reckons
dream in rhyme

Patience virtue
work out gym,
dance prefer to
closed minds grim.

Hard work calls for
rewarding rest,
ideas fresh store
in life's best.

Next Year's Resolution
be more social
drink less coke
do my homework
never smoke

be a nice kid
every day
mind my thoughts
and what I say

have good grades
and clean my room
take a floor cloth
and a broom

go to bed
at reasonable time
be good girl
commit no crime

lose weight, look good
go to the gym
ride my bike
dance, run and swim

I will work hard
but never rest
because I wanna
be the best

oh, and less
computer games!
how can I
achieve these aims?

it's pointless even
trying to
do all those things
I cannot do!

so I'll just sit back
and relax
enjoy a soft drink
and some snacks.
