The Night Before Vegan

Twas the night before Vegan and all through our pad,
the smell of burnt bacon was viciously bad;
Our stomachs were bloated, our eyes bloodshot red
from all of the food we'd stuffed into our heads

Iza and I cuddling, all snug on the couch,
While visions of butter made us quite a grouch.
And Iza in her Snuggie, and I in my sweats,
Had just settled our tummies for a night of regrets.

When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.
Away to the oven I flew like a boulder,
Tore open the door and forgot the pot holder.

The roast on the rack all steamy and warm
Promised tomorrow's caloric reform.
When, what to my wondering eyes should I see,
But cheesy potatoes that spoke sweet nothings to me.

"Now Iza! the pork roast, smothered in bacon!
Cheesy potatoes, our senses awakened!
Eat it today! Can't have it tomorrow!
Throw it away! Or be tempted to sorrow!

And then, in a twinkling, I heard in my tummy
A moaning and groaning like the screams of a mummy.
As I drew in my breath, and was turning around,
My stomach was rumbling...what a horrible sound

We ate so much food that will soon be forbidden,
Aleks is searching for food that we've hidden...
And the cake that we made that smelled oh so sweet.
Was iced on the table and shouted out EAT!

It was spicy and plump, a right jolly old cake,
And I laughed when I saw it, a big piece I did take!
A wink of my eye and a quick slight of hand
I gulped down a second, felt my belly expand.

I spoke not a word, but went straight to get coffee,
And filled both our cups with cream flavored like toffee.
And laying my head on the side of the couch,
And giving a nod, both our tummies screamed ouch!

We ate so much food, to enjoy our last dinner,
But the weight of the pork made me feel like a sinner .
But I heard Iza exclaim, ‘at some point in the night,
"Just eat Vegan tomorrow, and you'll be all right!"
