The mind is a wonderful thing to have.
So glad to still have mine.
Just don't know what I'ld do without it.
But as I age I tend to feel it slip.

In an effort to keep mentally alert
I tax my brain to use it or lose it.
Along with a healthy diet and exercise
my brain needs to keep fit.

At the gym for the brain
pumping mental iron improves brain function.
Daily exercise adds brain cells
and a new supply of oxygen to the brain.

Laughing also gets oxygen to the brain.
So each day I laugh a little, pump and tax a little
to remain of sound body and mind.
My old body is so sound...  it squeaks.
