Grunt and Grown

The aging process is unstoppable As we watch our youth slide by Our heads try to tell us we’re younger But, our bodies feel the lie So it’s off to the gym to experience Some sweat, grunt, and grown Hopefully with a bit of effort I can get to look like ‘Stallone’ New trainers and vest are needed To replace my dated attire The tracksuit that once fit me Fails to cover my bulging ‘spare tyre’ Neglect and over indulgence Have certainly taken their toll Repairing these bits won’t be easy So in future...... ’I’ll exercise, more self-control’

Clever rhyme Philip and good advice for us all; time marches over us if we're not watching.
