| Twas just after Christmas |
 Twas just 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 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 husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend the winter disguised as a man!"
So -- away with the last of the sour creme dip,
get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Til all of 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, 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! |
Stumble It!

What a horrible thing to post when I have a great New Year's feast coming up. Carrots will just have to wait. We have fondue and a chocolate fountain. The eating has just begun.

LOL. Funny you should post about this! I've been extremely conscious about my weight so far this season. I hopped on the scale this morning and am only up 3lbs from my "normal" weight. Woo hoo!

Happy New Year, Margie! Y'all have any plans? Maybe next year we can meet up somewhere in Savannah ;-) and party the night away.
