I’ve done the treadmill and the bike,
You could have joined me if you’d liked,
Added a jog into the walk,
Tried not to stop to have a talk.
Waved to some kids walking up the hill,
And the coachload of pensioners stopping still
Right outside the vast glass pane,
Hope they know “No pain no gain”
I’ve balanced across the giant ball,
I had to be careful – it’s easy to fall!
In fact I managed to stay atop –
Avoided the wobble as there’s a nasty drop.
But the main point of all this sweat
Is not to win a hasty bet,
I’d like to get thinner and burn some fat
And I would question anyone, “What’s wrong with that?”
Tomorrow I’ll ignore any kerfuffle,
‘cos I’m taking my new ipod shuffle!
