Sweats and Sweets
Sweats and Sweets
I’m jogging very quickly in my sweats
To reach my seventh mile without delay
Insatiably my fervor for a treat
I can’t control a taste for something sweet
Although I had no breakfast fare to eat
The sixth mile has me sweating in my sweats
But soon I’ll reach that place with no regrets
My thoughts are of her as we reach the bend
The seventh mile has come and here I am
Our sweat and sweets commingled in the end.
