Lazy Toes

“I like my stomach where I can see it,” I explain to my dinner guests, but I’d like to see my toes, I will admit. I’m the kind of guy who always commits To lounging around and growing my gut – I like my stomach where I can see it! Maybe I should join a gym and get fit I could run, and juice, and eat cashew nuts… I’d like to see my toes – I will admit! Though I really like when I get to sit And munch all day on a dozen donuts Because my stomach is where I can see it. There are many things that keep me unfit But someday, I’d like to stop; cause somewhat, I’d like to see my toes, I will admit. That might make you think I’m a hypocrite, For eating junk and wanting shortcuts, When my stomach is where I can see it… Though I would like to see my toes, I admit.
