A Song for Christmas Day

Greetings to one and all out in Quipu land! Here's a little something you can sing in between helpings of turkey or sweet-and-sour chicken...

It's the Most Gluttonous Time of the Year

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year

Your guests are all moaning, the table is groaning,

Catastrophe’s near

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year

It’s the belt-bustingest season of all

With snackings and sweet things, the easy-to-eat things

That cause you to fall

It’s the belt-bustingest season of all.

There’s the turkey and gravy

And other things cravey

That pile on your plate as you go

And sauce of cranberry

That makes the meal merry

And might cause your waistband to blow…

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year

There’s so much to be chewing, and nothing you’re doing

To work out, I fear,

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year.

There’ll be puddings and baking

The rich things you’re making

And that’s not to speak of the drink

The rum and the brandy

Will come in quite handy

In pushing you over the brink.

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year

There’s too much overeating

And then overheating

Food coma is near

It’s the most gluttonous time

Yes the most gluttonous time

It’s the most gluttonous time of the year!
