One Day I'Ll Get There

Hi ho! Hi ho! Off to the gym I go,
but a friend rang me wouldn’t you know.
Now I’m sorry to say,
I can’t make it today.
That makes it three thousand days in a row.

G'day Gershon … if you're trying to break a record then you don't spoil that returning. It would be so disheartening - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

G'day Timothy … I think this might fit a lot of people. I think I'm allergic to gyms so I don't want to take the risk of being in one - thanks Timothy - Lindsay

Never thought about that Janice. It could mean not being able to afford so many chocolates though - thanks Janice - Lindsay
