[I am delighted that Read, Write, Poem will continue under the guidance of ...deb from Stoney Moss. This week's prompt was "resolutions."]
Resolutions
With hand on heart I promise
and do here solemnly swear
to update my outward image
and buy new clothes to wear.
I hereby this day resolve,
dear reader, be my witness,
that I will improve my health
through exercise and fitness.
I give my word of honor
and agree to undertake
the care of my front yard
with mower, hoe and rake.
In honesty I assure you
and consecrate my pledge
to clean house every week
from floor to window ledge.
The vows I make this new year,
each earnest heart-felt vow,
will last as long as ever --
'til perhaps an hour from now!

These could be my resolutions, too!
Clever and fun!
(I had to fish you out of the spam filter - with pleasure - and I remember Dana telling me sometime to only add one link per comment, otherwise the filter thinks you don't belong here.)
Thanks, ...deb, on both counts - I remembered about the double-comments problem only after it told me it was waiting for moderation. I'll have to "resolve" to remember that!
I was about to fall out of my chair at the idea of you maintaining the yard - then I got to the end of the poem. Very nice!
i had so much fun reading this! it doesn't even matter to me if you keep these resolutions -- with this sense of humor, you'll survive 2008 for sure!
Thanks, sweetie.
