| T�was the week after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. 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 stores (less a walk more a lumber). I remembered the marvellous meals I�d prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared. The wine and rum balls, the bread and the cheese. And the way I never said, "No thank you, please". As I dressed myself in my husband�s old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt. I said to myself, as only I can "You can�t spend the winter disguised as a man"! 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 want only to 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. 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!! |
