Running On Empty

Twice around the track and then
Do it over once again
You might think a little sin
Just so I'll stay very thin

Up and down the stairs I go
Careful stepping heel to toe
Finally find an even flow
Then tumble down the final row

I guess not agile as a cat
My doctor says no more of that
I hope I stay the weight I'm at
Might end up getting very fat
