*** Poem for January
T'was the month after December 25th, 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? Happy New  Year to all and to all a good diet! Submitted by Linda Ward
