It’s the last week of 2023 so let’s write a resolution poem. New Year’s resolutions are a tradition that goes back as long as we’ve had calendars so let’s participate even if you employ some poetic license. Post your list in the comments below.

New Year’s Resolutions I’m Sure to Break
I will catch butterflies instead of colds.
I will travel in a train, not in my imagination.
I will lose weight instead of my mind.
I will practice obfuscation rather than obstinacy.
I will watch the road, not calories.
I will remember which road leads where.
I will walk with the wild turkey and deer.
I will enjoy drinking coffee black. Or not at all.
I will not use my mouth as a shoe rack.
I will be younger than I was last year.
I won’t forget where I put my keys. Or my glasses.
I won’t be afraid to be afraid.
I won’t make promises. I promise.
I won’t make any more New Year’s resolutions.
