So much for all of that hard excercise. A little couch I've earned. Besides we should slow down in old age.

Before I became part couch potato,
life hit me in the face with red tomato.
One hundred and fifty situps,
Fifty a day push ups.
Bench pressing two-hundred and fifty,
jocking fast and thrifty.


Thought I was in shape,
the break down I couldn't escape.
My body went out completely,
had to start moving discretely.
Recoverd from that episode,
still moved like a toad.


Now on the couch I isometric,
do a few stretches not so hectic.
Merrily I stroll along,
no more jocking the mile long.
Don't mind a little couch,
beats the big ouch.

Ouch...know the feeling!!

I tried to keep my balance on a 5 inch sidewalk edge today....I did pretty good but as I tried to make my artistic turn around....I landed butt down on the ground...OUCH...my ego still hurting!!

Knowing I ain't 13 anymore!!

Love Tinka

OOO, quite a good point. No need for the burn, just regular walking does one good, in both body and spirit...
