Workout

i keep my
mind
fit

jogging
my memory
each and every

minute
but as
far as

my body i
abuse
by

eating too
much rich
food even

though
i'm poor
and pouring

down glass
after glass
of wine

and
or
beer

and so
i keep
myself

and my
self be
hind

closed doors
as much as
i can but

with
open
windows

Thanks Jan. I should know better and follow in my step father's steps. He recently turned 89. After retiring he umpires softball games and so stayed physically fit. He also would work during income tax time to keep his mind sharp.
