Never sit in you chair for over ten hours It will make your poor back feel like the twin towers.
When seduced by my writing To spend much more time, My back reminds me that Sitting too long is a dastardly crime
It twists my poor spine Way out of shape And leads me to wearing Either corsets or tape
Now, I set an alarm clock As a gentle reminder So my poor back won't feel Like its in a meat grinder.
