Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

I Ran Two Miles Today

I Ran Two Miles Today  
  
By Elton Camp

Being too fat I really do despise
One solution is plenty of exercise

I’m proud to be able to say
I did rather well with it today

A sudden inspiration I got 
Started running on the spot

Nothing would make me slow down
I zipped across sidewalk and ground

I had a goal that I wanted to meet
And wasn’t going to take defeat

As the goal I drew near
Onlookers began to cheer

“Go chubby,” one called out
“Onward! another did shout

I kept running until I was ready to drop
That ice cream truck was hard to stop

Ice cream is one of the five food groups in our house!! Elton Camp November 18, 2014 at 4:19 PM Thanks! Light humor is my favorite thing to write. Elton

Dorian Petersen Potter November 18, 2014 at 10:37 AM So very humorous my dear friend Elton! I chuckled more so when my eyes read your last two lines. Lol...very good, hope you didn't yield to that so tempting ice cream, after all that workout that would have been such a waste. A 7 for me! ;) Love and hugs! xxxx D.
