>'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 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 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?
