No Cheeks !

I was never a muscle geek.
Tho’ you wouldn’t call me weak.
Working as a life guard 
during summer.
I always took care of myself,
watching my diet and my health.
Growing old is a bit of a bummer
		
On my arms, I had bumps.
On my chest were big humps.
And my butt at the beach 
caused much rankle.
Now my Abs, Pecs, and Glutes
are shaped like a Newt’s.
And my pants fall often
to my ankles.

I did get it by the way. Your pants fell often to the no muscle in the cheeks. Ha ha.

I would comment like Royal on the bottom until ** I imagined you a buffy gangster when your pants droped to your ankles oftenly. Nice one . I see the humor the way I just pictured it. Loved it.

funny--life guards use to make my heart skip a beat-but-they only had eyes for my beautiful sister. LOL
