GOOD INTENTIONS
Paved with good intentions, is the road to you know where
So, I won’t eat a candy, cookie, cake or an éclair.
I’ll exercise and energize till I am strong and sleek.
I’m full of motivation, so I just might start next week.
GYM DANDY
When birds of a feather work out together,
They all heed the call and the chirp
Of the headband crested, lycra chested
Urban aerobic twerp.
RAMPING IT UP
I can walk a mile
So, I thought I would try
To run for a while—
I thought I would die!
A FIRM PHILOSOPHY
I’ve formed a firm philosophy
About exercise devices:
I do not have to use them—
Just owning them suffices.
