Immerse Yourself
The local health club has a sign
Encouraging recruits:
“Immerse yourself” and what it means
Is exercise pursuits.
The concept is a clever one –
The words sound so enticing.
You delve into a hobby
And immersion is the icing.
But working out is not, for some,
The means for self-improving;
And other ways exist to get one’s
Motivation moving.
For me, the message that the gym
Is trying to disperse
Is one I’ll tweak a bit ‘cause I’ll
Immerse myself in verse!
