Break a sweat by lifting weights
too easy, so it seems ~
Hold your tummy while you breathe
moving to the beat
Bend and stretch this way and that
till the routine is complete.
Climb aboard the stairmaster
working off those hips
Where all those extra calories
that somehow passed your lips ~
Resting where it’s comfortable
indulging in the bliss
Of sweets and cakes and ice cream
and that chocolate hershey kiss!
But today your body pays for it
as you walk the extra miles
A mind elsewhere at breaking speed
your eyes they watch the dial ~
Another stretch of the legs
ooh, what was that crack?
Never mind for I’ve had worse
flat out on my back!
A refreshing swig of water
hydrating the poor soul
That’s being punished on these things
as common sense unfolds ~
Time to wrap up another day
of all this exercise
A body won’t know what to do
for it’s too big a surprise!
Glory now, is that the time
you better lose those tights
For leotards at your age
my gosh, what a sight!
It’s not all that becoming
when you’re on your way to work
And people see you in the street,
“my goodness, is that her?”
A bite to eat, a lasting look
at the chocolate bar
Beckoning you, but you ignore
as you get into the car ~
But what a pity your daughter
has in great supply
Chocolates, sweet and yummy things
that just sink back to your thighs.
Hmmmm, you know you shouldn’t do it
but boy it tastes so nice,
The orange flavour is so sweet
and we all need to have a vice!
Trying not to think of all
that work that’s been undone
By relishing all those yummy things
when you intended having one!
Tomorrow you’ll be back again
working off those sweets
In the gym for another dose
of sweaty stinking feet ~
For you were a naughty girl
when you should be at your best,
But chocolate is so very good,
than exercise or sex!
