New Year's Resolution

If you have a bad habit you want to quit here's a solution
Now's the time to make yourself a New Year's resolution
Or if you'd prefer, you can call it an asseveration
Either way you're promising bad-habit eradication

If you eat so much it's making your pants buttons bust
Resolve to be abstemious rather than gluttonous

If you are so greedy that it's making you vicious
Resolve to be magnanimous instead of avaricious

If you are lazy, as though work you are all-ar-gic
Resolve to be industrious rather than be lethargic

If you love yourself so much that it's your main characteristic
Resolve to modest be instead of narcissistic

If you have a bad habit you want to quit here's a solution
Now's the time to make yourself a New Year's resolution
Or if you'd prefer, you can call it an asseveration
Either way you're promising bad-habit eradication
