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
