A hangover at Christmas well, yep some of us pay
I feel like I ate much more today
Than Italy has pizzas and Boston her beans
Than low country feasts of shrimp boiled and steamed
Than turkeys as big as Emus who run
Their wings much like stumps when chased by a gun
I ate so much my head has gained weight
I ate and I ate and I ate and I ate
Food hangover hurts
I'm stuffed up to here
My heads in a tizzy
I've tight underwear
If I were a jock with a slender svelt bod
I'd be ashamed for eating and then pray to God
Just let me run and help me to fight it
And melt this fat off
Let's think about diets
I'll burn this weight off
I promise...
I say
Too much at once and my stomach will pay
The sins of indulgence as smiles stretch out oe'r
This plate dripping gravy and roast pork galore
Don't forget casseroles and the soul of the south
Sweet tater mashed up...please shut my mouth
Masking tape could help to seal up this gape
If you're a man, by all means,use electrician's tape
Anything please to stop all the drool
Taste buds seek everything that doesn't move
Say...but what of Jell-O its comes red and green
The color of Christmas with jiggles that scream
Eat this...hey...
It's moving and isn't nailed down
Its lighter by gosh and your weight is kept down
Its clear like glass and euphoric in colors
Its not brown or gray or duller and duller
Jell-O dances...
It swings...
It sways with the bells
If you eat a big bowl your tummy won't swell
Its cool to the buds and stays when thumped over
Its great cause it's light for this Christmas hangover
I'll save it for later and later and later
Perhaps slopped over dressin'n or roasted pataters
This food is so much
There's leftovers for days
Thank heavens for Christmas
Come tomorrow... we'll pay.

We won't sit down to our Christmas meal for a few hours yet so I'll heed your advice and not let my eyes rule my stomach. Gain weight? Seems I always do and getting rid of it is very difficult.
