The Exercise Equipment
The Exercise Equipment
By Elton Camp
The workout machine for which I paid a high price
Sitting in the store, looked like it would work nice
So I took it home and then set it up in the den
I used it twice, but after never touched it again
Because I found that it made me sweaty & sore
After learning that, I didn’t use the thing anymore
For a few months, I used it as a handy coat rack
I’d had it far too long for the store to take back
My wife had a yard sale scheduled for the spring
She said, “Why don’t you get rid of that thing?”
So I learned that intentions don’t do any good
For I failed to use the machine the way I should
I doubt that I am the only one to waste that way
I’m going to check yard sales and see some day
