Buckets of butter a largess of lard
baked goods and sweets we consume by the yard
fruit-cake and cookies that pile on pounds
the Pillsbury Dough-boy is making his rounds

On thighs and on waist-lines he's coming for you
on inches and kilos " I only had two "
plates piled high with all kinds of good stuff
we feast as possessd 'cause we can't get enough

on candy and pie on fancy roast dishes
on egg-nog and snack-foods and even knishes
we groan and complain how our pants fit too tight
but then once again eat whatever's in sight

We mow through the turkey and cranberry sauce
roast beef and potatoes and salads we've tossed
on platters the size of garbage-can lids
you better watch out we're coming through kids !

Ix-nay on that diet we don't want to hear
how this is un-healthy until it's next year
with waist-lines expanding until they appear
two times normal size from the front to the rear !

You'll hear us proclaim as we "pig-out" each night
"OOOH! that looks good , I'll try one little bite ! "

I am blaming you for the blown diet.
I was so going to stay on it this time.
Have to stop writing, I'm going to raid the fridge.

Thanks for the R&Rs , sorry about the blown diets . Wife entrusted me to make cookies this year , I used real butter , can almost feel myself bloating right up , hence the poem . Merry/Happy
