This Year It's all about me
I'll use sleight of hand
Be all smoke and mirrors
Confess everything
Reveal nothing at all
I'll be all misdirection
In the way the cards fall
Be honestly devious
Mischievous and raw
I resolve to be all stuff and nonsense
Don't trust me one bit
I'll aspire to be lascivious
And really be lovin' it
I'm gonna' gain as much weight as I can
Eat bacon for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Gonna' gobble sugar (as much as I can stand)
Not gonna' care anymore about gettin' thinner
This year is gonna' be all about me
I'll not have many more I fear
And If nothin' else…It's gonna be
A very happy New Year

David Whalen's New Diet: 2018 Your proposed 2018....eating habits, NOT at all like those of Br'er Rabbit's, may cause you to bloat up to HUGE! Never again will you fit in your luge! ! ! (to be continued {the comment}) .............
so.........after looking at your main page and then this one, i'd say you are closer to 80 than 103! i guess that is not your son or daughter on your knee! i hope not. are you STILL kickin'? not that you'd tell the truth! ! ! (to be continued) .................
