Random Rhyming at the Amusement Park

Quid pro quo, tit for tat

You’ve got to give if you are going to get

Age brings stiffness and extra weight

Going to the gym is now on my plate

Lifetime this and Sports Club that

Gold’s, the Y and everyone’s fat

Is it a chore or is it a bore

You must be willing to get kind of sore

No pain, no gain is what they say

Keep it up, soon it’s like play

Fat burn, Cardio and fitness test

I think it’s all crap, I’d just like a rest

Prolonging life; let’s try to live longer

I will still be old, do I care if I’m stronger

It’s fun that I’m after not a few extra years,

If I spend them all jogging and dwelling on fears

Take your headphones there’s CNN

I’d rather be out walking or holding a pen

Be a writer, or a poet

Forget the weight, wear loose black clothing, you will hardly show it

To live well and long

I need inspiration not perspiration

Let’s throw a big party or

Think up a song

Have a drink, maybe two

Roll a number, smoke a bowl

Not good for the heart

But good for the soul

Let’s keep it simple

My body is not a temple

When I hit my mark

It’s an Amusement Park
