Ode To Exercise
Pull-ups, push-ups and jumping jacks
Challenge the muscles in the arms and the back
Dead lifts, squats and overhead presses
Can build you up if not performed to excess
Stretching, yoga and meditation
Call for a different kind of concentration
Passive, non-contractile muscular action
Eastern bio-feedback-based satisfaction
Brisk walking or a round of jogging
Loosens those arteries, gets them unclogging
While swimming laps or competitive running
Sure beats lying under a sun-lamp sunning
A program of exercise on a daily basis
Keeps limbs and organs in perfect homeostasis
Think of your body as a finely tuned machine
You'll keep it trim, ship-shape, pure and pristine!
