Title: January
Post by: John Florida on January 12, 2012, 06:55:55 PM
Twas the month after Christmas,
And all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
Not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,
The chocolate 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 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
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.

She'll "want"??!  Ratcrap, I call!

Celery is an excuse to eat cream cheese.

I didn't gain an ounce, much to the dismay of my GI Doc.  Oh-the-hell-well!

We made two big, wonderful loaves of Italian bread today and the eggplant parmagiana is in the oven as I write.  Heheheh.

...Celery is an excuse to eat cream cheese....

That sounds yummy. I would try it... but that would mean I'd have to eat a piece of celery without peanut-butter, and I can promise you that ain't happening.
