What a great Laugh

This so true it made me laugh. . .
After Christmas
'Twas 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 store, 'twas less walk and more 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?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.

Happy New Year to all~~~ and to all a good diet !!!
