Fitness Fanatics Blues

Just a fun rhyme.
We are constantly told to focus on firness, watch our diet, take care of our health, but there's a downside to everything.

 

I looked in the mirror six months ago,
Saw a man standing there with a big beer belly
My girl said Man you’ve got to lose some weight
All you do is drink beer and watch sport on the tele.
Get youself down to the gymnasium
If you want to stay fit then you’ve got to get wise
Jog every morning work out every night
You can’t drink no more beer, cant eat no more pies.
 

At six every morning I’m out on the road
Rain sun or frost I jog for an hour
But when I get home and tell my girl I feel good
She says get in the bathroom and take a cold shower

I don’t eat potatoes nor pasta or chips
I’ve become a slave to my calorie chart
Health foods and salads keep my weight down
But don’t stand too close ‘cause I’m liable to fart
I’ve been a fitness fanatic for half a year now
My body looks good but I’ve still got the blues
I can’t eat, I don’t drink if I want to get high
I just take a sniff at my training shoes.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
