Used To Touch My Toes
Used to touch my toes
Kick my legs in the air
Do exercises in droves
Like I did not care
Now I’m full of donuts
Potato chips and blue cheese.
My ankles are all puffy
I can no longer see my knees
Have not been swimming since ’98.
Weigh now more than a boxer’s weight.
I waddle to my well-deserved fate
Have no one else to lambast or hate.
