Resolution schmezolution
A year defined by destitution
Across the globe we witnessed strife
When will we learn to cherish life?
The i’s not capped with Pod or Pad
And dieting just drives us mad
We reach for more to sate the greed
When food and shelter’s all we need
So let’s be glad the year is gone
While we strive to mouth ye Auld Lang song
A new start is what the world needs
There’s just one thing I must concede:
I make no lists, for old time’s sake
And won’t scale down cocoa intake!
If you scaled back the chocolate, you'd go through serious withdrawls!
ReplyDeleteYou look really awesome in that photo, Robyn.
Sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Robyn! Wishing you all the best in 2014!
Suck the chocolate back, only resolution you need at your shack lol
ReplyDeleteJust love it! Makes me want chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on New Years resolutions myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Robyn! If you cut down on chocolate we wouldn't even be able to see you. Maybe you need to increase your chocolate covered fruit, and nuts. Another witty and wonderful poem! All the best in the New Year, Robyn!

Damn, you are smokin' hot girl!!!! I make New Year's themes instead of resolutions and they really seem to work for me.
ReplyDeleteCut down on cocoa?? That's a crime.
ReplyDeleteSo, just to make sure this thing rhymes...
you may as well go slug a mime.
Gotta flee, gotta go
Gotta get rid of that frikkin' snow.
Then maybe...cocoa?
Sounds better than making resolutions.
ReplyDeleteGood poem! No New Year's resolutions for me. If I want to change something I won't wait until January 1 to do it.
ReplyDeleteI had a good year, so I'm not glad it's gone or unhappy that's it gone. But I am super excited because 2014 ends in a four, and that's my most favorite number.
ReplyDeleteLook at you all gangsta!
ReplyDeleteI missed this the first time around so I enjoyed the rhyme time.
Hey Robyn!
ReplyDeleteSome thoughtful prose
That kinda' grows
On me
You see
Such various emotions
Your words devotions
We eat real chocolate
Aint that great
In the UK
All the way.
Welcome to the New Year
I see it clear.
Gary :) x
So funny, Robyn! I'm right there with you for most of it. Happy 2014! :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo and poem. I feel such a pig - I've just finished a fourth box of chocolates. The trouble is that they're just to hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteCan't make that cut
ReplyDeleteDominos menu is without question great. I would suggest anyone to purchase a Dominos Pizza menu instantaneously!! Dominos is delivering the best pizza of the world!!
ReplyDeletediner dash games online
Yes, yes, and yes.
ReplyDeleteAmmi, I don't tend to eat menus, but I'll take your word for it that the Dominos menu tastes great. And do not use my blog for advertising ever again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all. I hope your first week of the new year is a great one. I'm not completely anti-resolution, only partially. I have some goals this year, but I tend to take my life one hour vs one year at a time.
Love to you,
xoRobyn
Haha you go chocy girl!
ReplyDeleteCool rap!
I'm down with that.

Love the photo and the poem. Your poems are always awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a new start for a better year. I will toast you with a hot cocoa on that. Cheers!
Atta, you talking to me? Because I don't typically strive for relevance at Life by Chocolate. Mainly, I strive to evoke laughter, with an occasional prolific post. My team (Macaulay Culkin and I) will, however, graciously accept your "thumbing ovation".
ReplyDeleteAnthony, I thank you for commenting LAST year that this sounded like a rap. Thus, I made it one.
Thank you, all.
Be well.

This is the first time I've seen this, Robyn, and I love it! Sounds good to me. I don't make resolutions either. Just take it one day at a time. Happy 2014!
ReplyDeleteooh I love this!!
ReplyDeleteHell, if I was as tiny as you, I'd keep the chocolate in daily rotation too!
ReplyDeleteNo resolutions here either. I prefer to work on myself when I see a problem, not wait for a new year to start to have an excuse to wait longer.
Happy New Years!
Happy new years to you. I don't do resolutions, but I did scale back the chocolate a few months back. Maybe that's why I am cranky all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteAt this point, cutting down on chocolate might be dangerous! Don't ever try it "cold turkey."
ReplyDeleteNice poem and so true.
