New Year's Menu

John SimmerlingJanuary 9, 20111 min read

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
