C J Dennis - January 2nd
Work rating: Low

How many have you broken up till now?
I know that yesterday you made a vow,
   And most solemnly `twas spoken;
   But how many have you broken?
Oh, you kept `em for an hour or two - But How?

You swore at twelve o`clock or thereabouts,
Most resolutely, scorning any doubts,
   That the glad New Year would find you
   With your vices all behind you.
And you`d be the very best of good boy scouts.

But you fell.  And, oh, how quickly did you fall!
And now you`re feeling low, and mean, and small;
   For, despite all your devising,
   You have come to realising
That you`re really only human after all.

Ah, well, at least you had the will to try;
And you may reform some day before you die,
   And there`s this small consolation
   On the road to reformation:
There`s another New Year coming by and by.
