The Month After Christmas

'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. [shocked]

The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
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).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The cakes and the pies, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in an old oversized shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt
I said to myself, as I only can -
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!" [Embarrassed]

So, away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruitcake, 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 only chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore ... [tears]

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! [flower]

Oh, and just so there is no misunderstanding, I take no credit for authoring the above - it was forwarded via email.

Oh that's great....though I'm still tempted to take that untouched Pumpkin Pie out of the freezer and "go to town". I'm positive there's whip cream in there as well. Mmmmm....
