Longing for the way I was Not so long ago Ah, life is a slippery slope When we let ourselves go What’s the use? Is no excuse But the results are quick to show I punish myself with rewards Of comfort well intended But more than just my thoughts Have been well extended I used to walk a lot More than a mile a day Now I trudge here and there Huffing and puffing along the way My aches and pains are so many For each one I wish I had a penny I’d never be broke and that’s no joke So I must take a stand And away from the pity pot take my leave For my sweet tooth I will grieve My bad habits to reprimand Or so I say right now Whilst feeling like a bloated cow But when faced with hunger pangs All good intentions be hanged LGR©11/8/14 |

Wishing you luck, you can do it, I know you can. If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |
