Neu Resolution ©

I hae giv’n scant thocht tae mak wise resolve
Ma cup is aye fu, or tumult oan its duds
Fertune is oft bubbles blaen wi soap suds
That oan reflection like scrubbed stains dissulve.
So here I am, at tha year’s pivotin,
Breengin in ma luck, wi a few clase freends,
An o’ paest misdeeeds tryin tae mak ammends
Wi faest footwerk, fancy pirouetin.
It’s time tae tak stock, not play tha deft Jock
Tae weigh aip gains an valuate losses
Luik fer hope’s socht gold that wis jist herd rock
That in ma way, wi rose glesses, tosses
Thaen spy tha root o’ evil in this dock,
Pess sentence, Not Proven, ere it tick tock.
