Resolutions

Resolved: To save my money and to lead a frugal life.

Resolved: To do my duty and still abstain from strife.

Resolved: To give up smoking and never touch a drop.

Resolved: To heed the speed laws and ne’er offend a cop.

Resolved: To quit complaining and smile whene’er I can.

Resolved: To cease from knocking and praise my fellow man.

Resolved—but what’s the use of plunging in so deep?

I’ve made more resolutions than any man could keep.
