Twas the month after christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me not even a blouse
the cookiesid nibbled the eggnog id tasted
at 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)
id remembered the marvelous meals id prepared
the gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared
the wine and the rum balls the bread and the cheese
and the way id never said no thank you please
as i dressed myself in my husbands old shirt
and prepared once again to do battle with dirt
i said to myself (as i only can)
you can spend a winter disguised as a man!
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
til all the additional ounces have vanished
i wont have a cookie not even a lick
ill want only to chew on a long celery stick
i wont have hot biscuits or corn bread or pie
ill munch on a carrot and quietly cry
im hungry im lonesome and life is a bore
but isnt that what january is for?
unable to giggle no longer a riot
happy new year to all and to all a good diet.....................
