T'was The Week After Christmas
'Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibble, the eggnog I'd taste
All 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 rumballs, 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 battle the dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter dressed like 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 cornbread, 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 Years to All and to All a Good Diet

'Twas the night before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shack, not a darn thing was a movin',
from the front to the back.
The kids were in bed, ...we had nine at the time,
The wife in her curlers, was lookin' real fine.
A cold wind was blowin', up the holler it moaned,
All ten dogs on the porch howled and groaned.
The boys were all dreamin' of dogs and guns,
for hunt'en God's creatures, .....there's no better fun!
The girls in their feminine dreams were attuned,
to getting those gallons of Wal-Mart perfume.
The wife wanted jewelry, like rings with big rocks,
I just wanted my pickup down off the blocks.
Then out in the yard, such a noise did commence,
like something was caught in our new 'bobwar' fence.
I ran to the window, and saw pretty quick,
the man makin' that racket, was Good Ol' St. Nick.
You may think of Santa in your own mind's eye,
dressed in a red and white suit, but, I've got a surprise.
That old boy's an Arkie, from up near Mt. Gaylor,
He married his cousin, and they live in a trailer.
On Christmas, of course, a sleigh for his rig,
He hooks the thing up to Razorback pigs!
He climbed on the roof, with his bag full of goodies,
He backed down the fireplace, all dirty and sooty.
Fat legs in his britches, chubby hands in his mittens,
I must admit from the back, he looked like Bill Clinton.
He turned toward the tree, His eyes all aglow,
He was an Arkansas boy from his head to his toe.
His neck was a red one, His shirt said "Lite Beer",
he had no red hat on, but his cap read "John Deere".
He left all the presents, with an air of delight,
Then it was back to the chimney, and away in the night.
He fell in the yard, threw his bag in the sleigh,
Then he yelled at the dogs, "Get the heck out th' way!"
I ran out to ask him Why he brought such good cheer;
But instead he just asked me, "Did you get you a deer?"
Then I heard him exclaim, as those pigs took to flight,
"Merry Christmas to all..... an to all, a good night!"

My First Christmas In Heaven
I've had my first Christmas in Heaven
A glorious wondrous day
I stood with the saints of the ages
Who found Christ the Truth and the Way
I sang with the Heavenly choir
Just think, I longed so to sing
and oh , what celestial music
We brought our Saviour and King
We sang the glad songs of redemption
How Jesus to Bethlehem came
And how they had called His name Jesus
That all might be saved through His name
We sang once again with the angels
The song that they sang that blest morn
When shepherds first heard the glad story
That Jesus, the Savior, was born.
Oh loved one, I wish you had been there.
No Christmas on earth could compare
With all the rapture and glory
We witnessed in Heaven, so fair.
You know how I always loved Christmas,
It seemed such a wonderful day
With all of my loved ones around me
The children so happy and gay.
Yes, now I can see why I loved it
And, oh, what a joy it will be
When you and my loved ones are with me
To share in the glories I see.
So, dear ones on earth, here's my greeting
Look up till the day dawn appears
And, oh, what a Christmas awaits us
Beyond all our parting and tears.
