As the New Year looms large,
Many will consult,
Their old resolutions,
To assess results.
And I’m happy to say,
That I’ve done my best,
Despite minor upsets,
A rousing success,
It seems every issue,
That once did exist,
I have finally been able,
To cross off my list.
And for this I can thank,
The judge, and my lawyer,
A fine legal system,
Restraining orders.
And next year we can see,
Just who will be thankful,
When they take this tracking,
Device off my ankle.
So.. what you are saying is.. it wasn’t the ankle bracelet you asked Santa to bring you? (love the list.. 4 cracked me up cause I could see the progression so vividly)
Yes, not exactly what I envisioned when I was making my Christmas list! Thanks! Glad you liked it!
How you make me laugh, Marissa. I don’t do resolutions because every time I had in the past, I would always set myself up for disappointment. I “improve” as I go along, hippity-hoppity-boo. LOL Have a great day, my friend! Love, Amy
Yes, I never made a formal resolution in my life. Why mess with perfection? Ha, ha, just kidding, we all improve as we go along. I think it’s the best attitude!
Are you saying I am getting better all the time?:)
um…sure that’s exactly what I meant!
Boy, have I got you fooled.
YAY!! I agree. With resolutions, nine times out of ten, we make expectations that are not realistic, fall, kick ourselves and get really discouraged. No. I’ve been there done it. 🙂
Did you adorn the ankle bracelet with Pandora charms? 😀
Oh come one Rob, you should know me by now! It was glitter and spikes!! (My P.O. was not amused).
Lovely list
Thank you!
Those things are articles of ostentation in these parts – street cred is negligible without one, more so if you are a ‘young adult’ for then they are essential.
Yes, well, I would like to flaunt mine in the hood but, unfortunately, they don’t let me out of the house!
That’s the thing though! Street cred demands the young miscreants do leave the house so they can show the tag to their chums! Remember our police don’t carry guns and on cold winter nights rarely leave the station!
Okay then! Sounds like a terrific idea to me!
Since I know that I always come through on my resolutions, here are mine for 2015:
1.Gain weight.
2.Exercise the remote control on my tv more.
3.Drink more.
4.Be the boss everybody wants to stand up to.
5.Start a harem. (That could be the answer to number five, then again. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea.)
6.Get more junk.
7.If I don’t get all of these done, definitely plan on doing numbers 1 – 3.
You just might be successful! I have a good feeling about this!
Hahahahaha. This is funny. The image is a classic too.
🙂
Thank you!
My resolution for the new year is put all medical professionals in one room and have them diagnose each other while I sit behind a one way window and see how long it takes for them to go at each other for miss diagnosis
That’s a good one. I imagine that could be quite amusing so long as you stay behind that one way mirror!
You really need to get paid doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Colleen! That’s the plan…as soon as I find someone willing to pay me for it!!
Oh yeah…..someone with money!!!!! I hope they find you!!!!
So this is why they make erasers and cross-out pens and people who don’t care much about resolutions and funny poets, all wrapped up in one post, Marissa.
I guess dry erase pens and boards were just too much to ask!
I forgot all about those babies, Marissa. 🙂
This was good, but probably not as good as what you’ll want to write after reading my mention of you in tomorrows Top Ten list.
Oh goodness! And when I say I am not worthy, that is exactly what I mean!
Ha Ha Ha, You so often make me chuckle with your last lines and this post was certainly no exception. I hope you have a lovely 2015 and thank you for your support in 2014. It has been very nice to “meet” you.
Same here Peter! Thank you, and I look forward to more of your brilliancy in the new year!
I love reading your blogs first thing in the morning! I start my day off with a good laugh … and you delivered again!! 😀
… and if the poem wasn’t funny enough, the image at the end was ice cream with the cake. #4 is the best!! 🙂
Yes, #4 does seem to be a popular one! Glad you liked it Joan!
keep it coming matey…. am sure you know how to brighten up :)) Hi5
Oh yes, there will be more where that came from! Thanks!
Bring it on….:)) Cheers!
Hmm…. It sounds like you’ve been taking excepts from my ex-husband’s resolution list. 😉
Perhaps, but, hey, whatever works, right?
LOL! This is true. 😀
Your 2014 posts have always brought a smile to my face (if not an ugly belly laugh). Cheers to your 2015 Marissa!
Thanks! Happy New Year Kim!
#4 is funny and yet hits home! Ay yay yay!
Yep, it’s a good one, thanks!
Hey, that post leaves me feeling foilsoh. Kudos to you!
I guess I’ll take that as a compliment! Thanks Jaclyn!
