Exercise ! Don'T Exert !!
‘Couch potato’,
‘Couch potato’,
Vexed by every one,
A mother of one,
A woman bulky,
Became sulky.
Coaxed to work-up,
For fitness to develop,
Took to swimming,
Jogging and running,
And drastic dieting,
All unscientific training,
Swift and slender,
Became tender!
Has the training worked wonder?
No! she invited danger!
She is twenty eight,
Walks with a waddling gait,
Gets intermittent ‘blush’?
No! It’s a ‘hot flush’!!
Mental irritation,
At times depression,
Irregular menstruation,
And painful coition,
Pain in the low back,
Fractures the femur-neck!
A menopausal syndrome?
No! An acute weight loss syndrome!
