Why Santa is overweight

While my roommate gently snoozes
Christmas spirit from me oozes
Spent yesterday just filling up
with cookies, pretzels, and other junk                         food
from the box my mother gave
that lasted nought but two short days
luckily, I've no  regrets
my stomach hasn't hurted yet
but soon all of this christmas cheer
will be coming out my ears
Two weeks from now, I'll be full
with more treats than I can hold
and though I know I should abstain
its hard when they're labeled with my name
so here I sit, longing for tastes
of sweets by my sweet mother made
and now a new box sits adjacent
betwixt the desk where I sit waiting
for the moment I'll give in
and sample every treat therein
but by her motherly attitude
a banana, apple, and orange she includes
knowing these won't be consumed
nearly as fast as the other foods
so what's a man supposed to do
when faced with so much tasty food?
puppy chow and frosted cookies
keep my eyes a' lookie-looking
it seems the only way to end
this problem is by digging in
and eating every bit of sweet
till there's nothing left for me
to gaze at, wishing I could eat
another box of tasty treats
Hope this one won't go so quick
else my stomach might be sick
