BEGIN AGAIN
BEGIN AGAIN
Remember how you vowed
To start this year anew.
Remember all those resolutions
You were sure to do.
It seemed so very easy;
A little bit each day
Or maybe just a bit each week
To keep things on the way.
The days go by so fast;
The first month’s nearly over,
And what small steps or what great strides
Have marked your will to power.
It’s fallen in a heap !
We know you’ve failed again.
You’re just like all the rest of us;
Resolve goes down the drain.
Just get a bigger belt
With one size up in trousers
Or tell yourself that fellas like
Real girls with well filled blouses.
All hope is never lost,
You’ll see a new, new year.
And that is when you will succeed ,
Oh sure you will ? Oh dear !

Re: BEGIN AGAIN
Thanks Terry. All the best for the new year.
Thanks Sue. I was suggesting Sue, that a lady who has failed in her diet resolution might comfort herself with the thought that she is more voluptuous than the twiggy models. All the best for the new year.

Re: BEGIN AGAIN
Hiya Neville - Happy New Year to you and your lovely lady. Nothing wrong with we Rubenesque or Junoesque women, just a little more to love without a clashing of bones as you say
I never make resolutions. Since I am incapable of keeping them to do so seems to be a waste of time but at least I can lay claim to being a failure

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Re: BEGIN AGAIN
May I add best wishes to all for 2018 from Rod and me. May your days be peaceful, pleasant, and of course, poetic!
Maureen, I can’t decide which of your wonderful epithets applies to me ... but I suspect “Rubenesque” might be closer to the mark. I can’t really picture myself as Jupiter’s missus!
And as for my New Year resolutions, Neville ... despite your poetic prodding, my lips are sealed
Cheers
Shelley

Re: BEGIN AGAIN
Hmm, I can relate to this one Neville! Best not to voice any good intentions on my part this year, as so far I haven't exactly started! Very enjoyable and so true - Happy New Year!
