Exercise...?

Light humor, I suppose...?







Poem Artwork

Tis' good I hear to keep in shape,

What shape that is could be that of a pear,

But I do look better when wearing a cape,

Maybe a better fruit (cake) I would be if I were to resemble a grape...

 

So today I got out, with my cane of course,

My back did kill me, but I didn't with the cold get hoarse,

I brought in my insulation panels,

And put them down on the floor,

Then covered them with a pair of appropriated industrial rugs,

Now I will be warmer as this winter will last longer, keeping the heat inside,

As with money to pay for heat, I seem to be quite poor...

 

Got done just in time too,

Its starting to rain, as predicted,

To the heat I'm afraid I'm addicted,

If I could kill off the cold & end this winter,

I'd gladly go to prison for the murder, happily convicted...;-)

you're a funny guy Ed, sometime I'd join you in killing off old Jack Frost, he does run up our cost, but at times I love the snow and cold weather, of course it almost killed me this year, I dug my wifes truck out but didn't make it to mine, I broke down. Finally I just got my truck dug out but my walk is still a little shakey. I've been off on medical for about three weeks, returning to work tomorrow, this cabin fever makes me appreciate AD even more, but for awhile my hip joint ached so that I couldn't even sit at my computer to write. This sugar diabetes isn't that bad, I've lost about thirty pounds. Anyway your bio picture speaks of a happy man, take care

I read somewhere that the heart only has so many beats in them. Therefore if you exercise the heart beats faster and will not last as long. That was the same report that claimed beer counted as grain on the food pyramid, and wine counted as fruit. I love that report

Exercise is a yuppie conspiracy. I came into this world fat, bald and screaming and I'll leave it the same way.

Ed, somebody up north likes me. They keep sending their snow to Texas. Snowing AGAIN as I read and review this ... stay warm, know you're ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You look good in a Cape and Tights, Bro. (That's what Ma said.)

And Hang In There, 'Cos Spring is Around the Corner. (Damn, old Brother Edvark already said that.)

Ed I guess there are a few of us who would like to kill off the cold winter.

Awww, it certainly has been a very strange and unusual winter, but spring will soon be here. I know, not soon enough, huh?

Be always safe,

He won't if he's the one you murder. lol.
Just got in from kung fu. The kids catch on so fast, they fail to realise my age. I could be their dad or granddad. Actually after seeing one mum I... well forget that. Cheers for the laugh. Now get out.

BTW so sorry to hear about Rufus. Life goes on. Having lost a couple of doggies and cats. Hope to hear about Rufus Mk 2 in the near future.

Look here Jersey, don't fool round, excercise can kill you, specially at this late age, and you'd most likely freeze to death, keep every once of fat you got for insulation. Heat will be here soon, the trees are budding up here, at least on my street, maybe tis all the hot air coming from Parliament. Hang in! Jasmin Horst
