'Twas the week after Christmas
And all through the house
Nothing would fit me
Not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled
The cheese I must taste
At holiday parties
Has all gone to my waist.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome,
Life is a bore.
Isn't that what
January is for?
Unable to giggle,
o longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all
And to all a good diet!
