\"\"<\/a>
Twas the day after Christmas,
and all through our home
five creatures were stir-crazy
so I’m writing a poem<\/p>\n

We still have a week’s worth of Chanukah that we must get through
And tons of dumb little presents yet to undo
Can anything be quite as anti-climactic
As Chanukah after Christmas, it’s making me frantic!<\/p>\n

To change the subject, I go back to the computer on my lap
And try to sift through what is good and what’s crap
And I’m supposed to be starting to write my next book
But I can’t even come up with an idea or a hook<\/p>\n

And visions of Visa bills are dancing in my hungover head
while I look at the clothes to be folded on the bed
There’s stuff received from my in-laws’ Christmas to unpack still
While I’m thinking, why, oh why, did I have to eat and drink my fill?<\/p>\n

And still I’m trying not to eat all the good things I’ve baked
‘Cause I know that being slim just cannot be faked
But I’m going to have to try and fake it, you see
‘Cause in two days I’m going to be on MSNBC!<\/p>\n

So I’m taking some time to blog something worthwhile
So that at least some of us will be able to smile!<\/p>\n

What I’m trying to say though the words ain’t out right
Is Happy Holidays to all, wish their end were in sight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
