Resolutions

Next year I will conquer more

And smite my enemies.

Next year I will just ignore 

Their puny mewling pleas.

Next year I will show persistence,

Decimate my foes.

Next year I will CRUSH resistance,

All who would oppose!

Next year I’ll command my fleet

And dominate the world.

All will tremble at my feet

When next year’s plan’s unfurled. 

But tonight I’ll bathe the cat

And give green beans a try. 

Mom said if I can’t do that

I’m grounded ’til July!
