New Year

This entry is for Mad Kane's Limerick and Haiku Prompt. This week's theme: wine and spirits or the New Year or, if you prefer, both.

This is also for Sunday Scribblings: New or New Year.

new year resolution
to do nothing, sleep through time
and wait for nothing

------------------------

this year's new year resolution
to stop making new resolution
better to sit and whine
drinking spirits and wine
than end up making retribution

Love both of these...and too true...setting up false or impossible expectations of resolve can lead to retribution!

I'm not keen on resolutions neither, sometimes it's good to lower our expectations and simply...sleep :) nice one.

I agree. I'd rather not make resolutions I know I won't keep.
