New Year's Plans

Other people have great plans,

Fly in a plane,

And discover new lands.

Lose tons of weight,

Learn to skate,

Redecorate the house,

Learn to play Strauss

My plans are different,

Stay awake all day

When I fall, I pray

Not to get hurt,

Do up my shirt

Buttons or zips,

Hope that this relapse is just a blip

Write a poem

For the first time since school.

Watch out for the spasm,

The foot drop,

The flop.

Time for new drugs,

Please no MS hugs.
