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.
