Doggone Stunning Specimen

Okay friends now let's just see
Do I have weaknesses of my own?
Nope, after careful investigation
I find I'm just perfect to the bone

A doggone stunning specimen
Of a *****sapien supreme
With bulging muscles everywhere
My tummy is tight and lean

So muscle bound, can't even bend
To tie my oversized shoes
Haven't seen some parts of my body
Since ninety-sixty-two

What's my secret you may ask
To my Greek Adonis form?
I chew on nuts and alfalfa grass
Celery and cobs of corn

Not your cup of tea you say?
So keep up your over stuffed ways
Like the famous Goodyear blimp
You'll go drifting off in the haze!

Russell Sivey August 19, 2013 at 8:09 PM Hmmmm, I dunno if you've looked in the mirror but I actually doubt you've described your form to a 'T' my friend, Ha Ha Ha! Don't worry, I'm not even close either, and none of my friends are nearly that way either! I'm sure you are closer to this level at being fit than I am! I really enjoyed reading this enlightening poem here this evening! What a lovely piece, Great Work!! Jack Ellison August 20, 2013 at 6:51 AM I DID lose 50 pounds BUT still need to lose another 20-30! So you're right... I try to avoid mirrors at all cost! LOL

Poet Tacito August 19, 2013 at 9:54 AM I'm going to eat a burger in honor of this hilarious writing. With cheese & a Romaine Lettuce leaf for balancing of my chi. ;-) Jack Ellison August 19, 2013 at 9:59 AM ENJOY!!! I only hope you could be as doggone stunning as this old dude but very few are! I'm being stared at wherever I go... hmmm... maybe it's because of the toilet paper stuck to my shoe trailing behind! LOL Have a great day my talented friend!

Carol Eastman August 19, 2013 at 9:27 AM Dragons laughing that I convinced you yesterday to become a Vegan.. You're missing the point Dragon,and no he doesn't want to date Joey. It's cool to be in good shape, especially at OUR age...But Jack... I did you one better this morning. I fell out of my computer chair (with wheels) when I leaned over to pet my dog... And no, I don't drink and DID already have my coffee... I'll never live this one down. LOL. As the old saying goes... Age, Can't live with it... and can't live without it! Carol Eastman August 19, 2013 at 9:41 AM My Hubby applauded... He said it was a perfect 10 point landing... and I wasn't hurt... He helped me up... He's so sweet! Jack Ellison August 19, 2013 at 9:38 AM Gotta be careful my good friend... a day without Carol is like a day without Carol... errr... sinshine! Love ya! Hugs, Jack xoxox
