New Year's Menu

If you like burritos,
might I suggest
get a big
puffy
goose down vest

it'll make you thin
and almost wispy

so get them ones
that're fried and crispy

And don't feel bad
if you thunk it
eat the doughnut
once you dunk it
you'll lose the battle

against your will
so get you six

of them jelly filled

And here's a word

for that Chiang Kai Shek
get the egg rolls

what the heck
after all

you can't go wrong -
them Chinese people

live so long

What was that
I heard you mutter?
of course we're having
peanut butter
it's full of protein

which helps us all
and it's good for your

cholesterol

And the carbs are here

beer and spaghetti
for the marathon

you need to be ready

Your New Year's plan
it's about to start
when you get back

from WalMart
