PERSEVERANCE Poem, by Andy Hunter, at My poetic side

My new year’s resolution was to try and lose weight

Cut down on take outs and use smaller plates

So I joined a gym to try and get fit

But got out of breath just entering the lift

I hoped one day I may learn to cook

But my food never looks like the recipe books

The result is usually totally inedible

I blame the author whose work can’t be credible

I’ve never been very good with my hands

As nothing ever goes to plan

Decided to persevere with some D I Y

But it all fell apart, don’t ask me why

Attempted to try some art and craft

But my serious endeavours just made my friends laugh

So decided to give some gardening a try

But everything I planted just seemed to die

I joined a choir to learn to sing

But all people heard was a terrible din

You could say my life’s a disorderly mess

But everyone’s good at something, I guess.
