Notes About The Poem

I went to the gym yesterday, can hardly move today, lol

Losing Weight At the Gym

Yesterday, the gym, I was off to get fit, 
I was going to shed all this weight, 
And run and do arms, enjoy every bit, 
And I wouldn’t leave any complaint,

So, I began on the mill, worked up a sweat, 
I quickly lost all of my breath,
I thought “It’s only a walk, just like outside, 
Maybe I’m out of my depth.”

Well, I left this machine, and went to the weights, 
A small load I needed to lift,
And sat at the curl bench, with towel by my side, 
And started lifting without any assist,

I stayed for an hour, it felt really good, 
And last night it felt good in my head,
But today, when I woke, I couldn’t move a thing, 
Today I’m staying in bed.

Lol. I found a new herb called Boswellia it’s great for inflammation in joints and muscles. Drink a lot of water. Good luck
