Fitness Fiend.


Okra, flaxseed, neem and kale -

New concoctions straight from hell,

Tame the urge to spill your meal

All over your growing dress.

Touch your feet, and then some more

Heavy breathing, pounding chest,

Sweat that cloaks your natural scent -

Why insist on such madness?

Down the cobbled streets you go,

Aching joints and inflamed soles,

One more mile, or maybe two

Can melt that roll of fat on you.

No more crispy sugar treats

Lock them up where arms can’t reach,

Ditch the carbs and fizzy drinks

Gorge on fresh-plucked leaves instead!

Bench-press twice a day, you fool,

Wield that dumb bell like a tool

Ankle sprain and muscle sore

Must add up to a healthy core.

Something else you want to try?

Join a class and bring your mate -

Crunches, yoga, all to die

At the very slowest rate.
