January 2

I used to be a lifeguard, eyes peeled out to sea,

but there was one small problem: no one was watching me.

First, I'd have a little taste, two nips and then some more;

Then out would come the stories of my valor on the shore.

Some may have grown suspicious; I'd been drinking all my meals,

but the clincher was my story that I'd saved six Easter Seals!
