Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Back To Lean and Mean

Getting back into the swing of it
After a break from my daily routine
Time to get serious once again
On my way back to lean and mean

No more snacking on cookies and cake
Restaurants? Must stay away
Back to salads and calorie wise eating
Riding my bike every day

At first the routine's a shock to the system
Laid around most of the summer
Time to get active and get the blood flowing
Adonis is just round the corner

Have you noticed lately people are more fit
Or is it just my imagination
We're all taking better care of ourselves
Certainly a smarter generation

Whatever the reason, it's sure a great sign
Nothing but good can come of it
A future filled with happy individuals
A generation of the super fit

Carol Eastman September 4, 2013 at 8:52 AM Your mind has been VERY active. To write so many... Dragon and Mike came across a saying they want you to hear: They just discovered what is wrong with my brain. On the left side there is nothing right, and on the right side there is nothing left... LOL.. (by RichO, Olympia Wash) Maybe that's what's wrong with my body... LOL... I started eating salads... No Dragon... you don't eat salads, but you can try... How about putting a little barbecue sauce on them?... Yum...Yum... LOL... Gee it Worked! Jack Ellison September 4, 2013 at 8:59 AM That Mike is my kind of guy... man, he's got guts! Is he still sleeping in the basement? Big tickle... love and hugs to both youse guys! xoxoxox

Poet Tacito September 4, 2013 at 8:18 AM I'm one of those people losing a few pounds to maintain my girlish figure and making sure my hips don't lie. Well said sir! =D Jack Ellison September 4, 2013 at 8:56 AM LOL Girlish figure? If I exercised two hours a day and ate nothing but alfalfa and nuts, don't think my figure would ever be classified as "girlish" LOL Gonna keep trying though! Thanks for dropping by Mr. Drake!
