Department Meeting
I called a department meeting this morning.
I said to everyone,
"I want to run the race".
But lungs said, "You cant be serious"!
So I decided to swim the river.
But legs said, "No way mister, not today"!
I suggested to bike the mountain trail.
Knees just laughed.
"There's no reason we cant take up boxing", I said.
Shoulders cried, "don't ask us",
"To lift those gloves".
I bent down to tie my shoe,
Feet said, "we told you to invest in Velcro"
I wanted a fling with Mama.
But body had fallen asleep.
Brain spoke up and said,
"What's wrong with you guys"?
"Quit being so lazy"!
Everyone was tired and irritated.
Then Heart quietly said,
"If we all cant get along"
"I'm leaving"
Meeting adjourned.
