Ravens, and possibly all properly trained talking black birds, are quite the motivation speakers.

I’m a little late on my New Year’s resolutions, but with the help of a friend, I have come up with some:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, I wrote predictive memos. Quoth the Raven, nevermore.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December. From my books increased the sorrow – sorrow for the lost slumbore*. 

Quoth the Raven, nevermore.

While sick two weeks Fran’s assistance I did not implore.
Quoth the Raven, nevermore.

Law I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing.
Quoth the Raven, nevermore.

*If I had more energy, I’d write some etymology to humor myself, but I am lacking in energy.
