Walking Is Good For You

I was advised that walking is healthy and good for the heart So with new walking shoes, I figured that was a good start I walk here, I walk there, I walk the hell everywhere I stroll to many new places; I do say I walk with flair I walked to the donut shop, oh what a pleasure I walked to the pizza parlor, and tasted a slice I walked to the local Chocolatier, and tasted many a delight On to the liquor store, for a bottle or two I walked up with the drunks, lined in a queue The ice cream shop down the street, yes I walked there too Double scoops I had, with whipped cream on top I walked to the Burger place, their fries so so yummy Walking home, there was the coffee shop!!!, with pastries for me tummy Walking is wonderful, and good for the heart But let me tell you Tomorrow I am driving to the gym Notes: Well I cant always write dark depressing poems! This was inspired by dinner at friends, and a great conversation over a bottle of wine, and for those with a wicked twisted sense of humor there is a secret not so poetic part 2 to this!!!!! You need to request!! :)
