Bodies
Sit outside in summer,
Watch the bodies passing by;
Fat and skinny, in-between,
But one or two – oh, my!
Sculpted to perfection
Like a fitness magazine,
Muscles glowing with a healthy
Exercisey sheen.
Male and female both attract
Some well-deserving stares
For, in truth, nobody has
A body that compares.
Wonder how it feels to be
That body on display
And how much effort went
Into it looking quite that way.
