As I get up.
As I stretch and start to yawn
I realise that it`s just past dawn
My head still fuzzy from the sleep
Out the window, my eyes peep
To my surprise a blazing sun
Rising, the day`s now begun
Not a cloud for miles to see
What has this day in store for me
So, I shit and shower and shave
Excuse the French I will behave
Put on my shorts and old tee-shirt
With thoughts of exercise, I flirt
Maybe just a coffee first
before my energetic burst
A bowl of fruit and wholegrain oats
I`m sure this stuff is meant for goats
So, breakfast done and cleared away
It`s time to start upon my day
The exercise it won`t take long
It`s always better with a song
So, belting out some favourite sound
My road to health I start to pound
Sit-ups squats and all the rest
I`m not much good but try my best
The doctors say it’s good for me
Although results I fail to see
So now it`s time to pop my pills
If not, they say that cancer kills
A dozen pills go down my neck
And as I`m thinking what the heck
It`s mainly vitamins I need
If the doctors I do heed
But much of what they say isn’t true
So here`s a word of caution too
Be positive of thought and mind
And on your body please be kind
Take your vitamins each day
Exercise and try to stay
As fit and strong as you can be
Cos you will need your energy
To fight daily this deadly curse
Believe me there is nothing worse
Than giving up and giving in
That’s not an option that`s a sin
Fight each day in every way
So that on this great earth you`ll stay
To see your kids and theirs grow old
And as you watch their lives unfold
Believe in God or what´s his name
And teach your kids to do the same
For only he can cure this curse
Without him, life would be much worse
I hope you like my little verse.
