Happy New Year!

'Twas The Month After Christmas 

Twas the month 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 soda and the candy, 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 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 

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!

Good luck to everyone with your
