Ode to Eggnog
(Author Unknown)
If you see a fat man, who's jolly and cute,
wearing a beard and a red flannel suit;
And if he is chuckling and laughing away,
while flying around in a miniature sleigh;
With eight tiny reindeer to pull him along;
Then - let's face it - Your eggnog's too strong!!
The Month After Christmas Diet Poem
(Author Unknown)
T'was the month after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The eggnog I'd chugged, the cookies 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 said, "more eggnog, 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 only I can
You can't spend winter disguised as a man!
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the 'nog, the fruit cake, the crackers and chips
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 only be chewing on celery sticks.
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?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Eggnog Christmas Quote
"Futurama" Xmas Story (1999)
Fry: Every Christmas my Mom would get a fresh goose, for gooseburgers, and my Dad would whip up his special eggnog out of bourbon and ice cubes.
