Roger Page Poet Rhyme

My Daily Jog

Up with the birds at the crack of dawn
On with the tracksuit now slightly worn
Where is my ipod, I had it last night
On with the headphones, the volumes just right
I’ve got everything, I think I’m now ready
I start off quite slow, nice and steady
Remember the plan, I set the pace
It’s only a jog, you’re not in a race
I’m starting to sweat, my heart starts to pound
My legs turn to jelly as they hit the ground
My mind starts to work, thoughts in my head
Why do you do this? You could be in bed!
I cross the road, without out a good look
A car blasts its horn, he takes me to book
I turn the last corner, my home is in sight
My time gets no better, try as i might!

Roger Page February 3, 2016 at 5:43 PM Maurice 4th line I missed that, thank you. He takes me to book means to point out the errors of ones ways, a bit like my 4th line from bottom! Regards Roger

Maurice Rigoler February 3, 2016 at 4:49 PM Nice flow to this poem. I'm not a jogger. just a stroller with my dog, usually in the morning. 4th line from bottom: "without out"? 3rd line from bottom: not familiar with "he takes me to look"? Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M
