'TWAS THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS 'Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The biscuits I'd nibbled, the champagne 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 marvellous 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 partner's old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt I said to myself, as I only can "You can't spend all Summer 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 won't have a biscuit - not even a lick. I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick. I won't have hot scones, or cake, or fruit 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 laugh, no longer a riot. Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
