The Workout In Rhyme

I was on a machine Working out – burning steam As the “Calories Burnt” numbers grows When this pretty young thing Turns around – my eyes sting As her nipples in tight t-shirt shows Well, I drift off sometime Lost in space – lost in mind When this pretty young lady walks past Then she stops and she said Take a picture instead Cause staring at them just won’t last I snap out of my stare And say “who – what – why – where” She says “take your eyes off my breast” Then I say “can’t you see They are pointing at me As even you can attest” “I assure you I can’t Control my nipple’s slant” And I said “the same with my eyes” Then she said “look away” And what could I say “wear t-shirts with much thicker plys” Then I starred with a grin From her breasts to her chin And I knew we were destined for more She quickly agreed Then when we did the deed I awoke with a start from a snore I got up – changed my pants To the gym – hoped to glance The woman I saw in my dreams This time I’ll relax Take my eyes off her rack And at least get her name by all means Mdailey 6/13/11 Inspired by Joe Flach’s poem “the Workout”

Oh no! This was all a dream? You had me going, Mike. Smiling and laughing all the way through. Some ladies have pointers and others have super duper droopers. Wonder which ones get the most stares. Very cool poem! Be sure to tell Joe he inspired you to write this. He's long been one of my favorite writers here. Now you are as well. Love, Carolyn

I told Joe that I liked his story but he left out the rhyme so I was going to rewrite it with the rhymes that both he and I like. I have not heard from him and if he was pleased or disappointed in my rendition of his dream. Mike
