Guest guest Posted December 15, 2000 Report Share Posted December 15, 2000 CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS Twas the night before Christmas and all round my hips Were Fannie May candies that sneaked past my lips. Fudge brownies were stored in the freezer with care, In hopes that my thighs would forget they were there. While Mama in her girdle and I in chin straps Had just settled down to sugar-borne naps. When out in the pantry there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash, Tore open the icebox then threw up the sash. The marshmallow look of the new-fallen snow Sent thoughts of a binge to my body below. When what to my wandering eyes should appear: A marzipan Santa with eight chocolate reindeer! That huge chunk of candy so luscious and slick, I knew in a second that I'd wind up sick. The sweet-coated Santa, those sugared reindeer, I closed my eyes tightly but still I could hear; On Pritzker, on Stillman, on weak one, on TOPS A Weight Watcher dropout from sugar detox. From the top of the scales to the top of the hall Now dash away pounds; now dash away all. Dressed up in Lane from my head to nightdress, My clothes were all bulging from too much excess. My droll little mouth and my round little belly They shook when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly. I spoke not a word but went straight to my work Ate all of the candy then turned with a jerk. And laying a finger beside my heartburn Gave a quick nod toward the bedroom I turned. I eased into bed, to the heavens I cry If temptation's removed I'll get thin by and by. And I mumbled again as I turned for the night " In the morning I'll starve...'til I take that first bite! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2000 Report Share Posted December 20, 2000 Joan, I am waiting very patiently for my Chocolate Christmas. Since giving up sugar many months ago, I've decided that I am eating whatever I want on Christmas. I have a very nice stash waiting and I am going to have a blast! a ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan <cdx7159@...> < egroups> Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 9:14 AM Subject: [ ] A CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS..... > CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS > > Twas the night before Christmas and all round my hips Were Fannie > May > candies that sneaked past my lips. > > Fudge brownies were stored in the freezer with care, In hopes > that my > thighs would forget they were there. > > While Mama in her girdle and I in chin straps Had just settled > down to > sugar-borne naps. > > When out in the pantry there arose such a clatter, I sprang from > my bed > to see what was the matter. > > Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash, > Tore open the icebox then threw up the sash. > > The marshmallow look of the new-fallen snow Sent thoughts of a > binge to > my body below. > > When what to my wandering eyes should appear: A marzipan Santa > with > eight chocolate reindeer! > > That huge chunk of candy so luscious and slick, I knew in a second > that > I'd wind up sick. > > The sweet-coated Santa, those sugared reindeer, I closed my eyes > tightly > but still I could hear; > > On Pritzker, on Stillman, on weak one, on TOPS A Weight Watcher > dropout > from sugar detox. > > From the top of the scales to the top of the hall Now dash away > pounds; > now dash away all. > > Dressed up in Lane from my head to nightdress, My clothes > were all > bulging from too much excess. > > My droll little mouth and my round little belly They shook when I > > laughed like a bowl full of jelly. > > I spoke not a word but went straight to my work Ate all of the > candy > then turned with a jerk. > > And laying a finger beside my heartburn > Gave a quick nod toward the bedroom I turned. > > I eased into bed, to the heavens I cry > If temptation's removed I'll get thin by and by. > > And I mumbled again as I turned for the night " In the morning I'll > > starve...'til I take that first bite!
