Happy New Year to YOU…

Oh dear!
Does that mean a Happy New ME?

I wish I could say
I’ll be better;

I wish I could say
I’ll be nicer;

I wish I could even say
I’ll be sweeter…….

Oh well,
I’ll try.

Happy New Year to ME.

    Well, kinda something to ponder on. Told a friend today that me’ll love more next year especially the females. She jokingly said, do I hate females? It was supposed to be a simple joke. But saw it as complex. Why do most people always realize they’ve not done enough only towards a new year? This work’s short but is really making me think again. Really enjoyed reading. And promise you mum to be nicer, better and sweeter. Cross me heart.

      Re: ‘Why do most people always realize they’ve not done enough only towards a new year?’…I guess we humans like the idea of fresh beginnings and tidy endings!

    Hm, simple enough, mother of naijaland. It’s something I would do, too. Since I’m lousy at keeping promises, is it New Year resolutions that I would keep? Humph! For where??? So, like what the poem has shown, I’ll go with the flow.
