I was advised to change my diet
My bowels were causing a riot
For too many plums
Play havoc on bums
Making it hard to keep things quiet.

The eating of pie before dinner,
It isn’t on point to get thinner.
It’s best to let go
That tin pan of woe,
And be a calorical winner.

So much that I put on some weight

To stay off the pie
And next year, well I just can't wait.

Though we promise ourselves that we’ll try it,
So let us eat, drink, and be merry,
For tomorrow we diet.

My diet is failing, I frown
