:=) * AFTER CHRISTMAS LAMENT **
'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing fit me,
not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste As the holiday parties had
gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the
store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared; The gravies and sauces and
beef nicely rared.
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese And the way I'd never
said, 'No thank you, please.'
As I dressed myself, in my spouse's old shirt And prepared once again to
do battle with dirt--.
I said to myself, only as I can 'You can't spend a winter disquised as a
"van"!
So-away with the last of the sour cream dip, Get rid of the fruit cake,
every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished 'Till all the
additional ounces have vanished.'
I won't have a cookie - not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long
celery stick..
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread pie, I'll munch on a carrot and
quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore-- But isn't that what January
is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
