Can't Beat It

Tick tock goes the clock

don't want to miss a second; there's no stop.

New year new me? I don’t think so.

Only modified, more advanced.

 

Just like that new phone I got in the early spring,

Right along with these muscles I gained.

I didn't miss a beat,

spring cleaning, I worked only on the inside.

Taking in the good leaving out the bad.

God played the biggest hand.

 

No summer flings for me, I had a steady man.

He held my hand. He had plans.

We planted our roots in the south;

just like that garden in the back.

Now we’re pulling in two types of greens.

 

Fall came but I never tripped.

My grades were set,

just like my fire wood.

All my goods were canned,

and this little cheerleader watched her boys go to playoffs.

 

White winters were never for me.

The blazing fire almost scared sana away,

so he sent his gifts through the mall.

And he was long gone by the time we painted the night sky red.

So let's see what this year brings. For I followed all the laws of new year, no washing and a ton of beans and greens.
