Happy New Year to you Mary

You bouncy young thing

Hope you'll be light as a fairy

By the dawn of next Spring!

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, just for the taste  Had all dropped straight to my waist.
When I walked to my weigh class in a daze and a slumber  and got on the
scales there arose such a number!:(    I remembered the marvellous meals I'd
prepared;  The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,    Then came the
wine, the bread and the cheese  And I'd never say, No, definitely yes
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 dips,  Get rid of the fruit cake, crackers and chips.  All party food
in the house must be banished  Till all the additional ounces have
vanished!!!    I won't have a biscuit-not even a lick.  I'll only chew on a
celery stick.  I won't have hot scones, or fruit pie, or a cake,  I'll munch
on a carrot - for the goodness sake.    I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life
is a bore---  But isn't that what January is for?  Unable to laugh, it's no
longer a riot.  Happy New Year to you and to all a good diet!
