The Old Man Cracks Down

Mark O. Decker

Have I been saying
that winning isn’t everything;
Where was my head;
My son heard it and reminded me, and
i’m tired of losing;
Losing gets old, and
unlike wine,
does not improve with age,
does not improve one’s disposition;
So, this next year is full of resolutions
which I will keep;
Underlying them all
is a return to winning,
being victorious
with Teddy Roosevelt-like determination,
William Buckley-like intellect,
the savvy of a chemical engineer;
Hey new year,
i’m coming on like gangbusters;
The real resolution is personal resolve.
