This Year

This year it’s time to start anew
Goodbye old me, enough from you
My life will be quite different. How?
I’ll change before your eyes – ka-pow!

First I’ll be kinder to my friends
I’ll settle beefs and make amends
Pay J.D. back for that milkshake
Help Mo to find their ball at break

And I can work on getting fit
(Though Lycra makes me look a twit!)
I’ll do twelve sit-ups when I wake
And maybe eat a bit less cake

I know I could improve at school
Work hard rather than act the fool
I’ll get my homework done on time
And through the maths sets I will climb!

Then learn to play the glockenspiel
And how to cook my sis a meal
Attempt to scale a mountain range?
Believe in myself for a change

This year it’s time for something new
Goodbye old me, enough from you
I’ll change before your eyes – ka-boom!
I might even tidy my room
