All through January

I searched through the house

For something to fit me

But couldn't find a blouse

 

As I got dressed

I went all numb

Couldn't find anything

To cover my bum

 

A pair of stretch leggins

My husbands' shirt

Was all I could find

To cover my girth

 

The wine and chocolates

Went down with ease

I never refused

Just said yes please

 

Oh the crisps that I nibbled

Gin and tonic to taste

The whole of Christmas

Has gone to my waist

 

Now till all the extra

Pounds have vanished

Nibbles and chocolates

Have all been banished.
