Exercise Haikus
A walk in the park
Five days a week without fail
Slow but sure results.
Shake and a shimmy
To the music in my ears
Three extra cals lost.
My thighs nowadays
Sing songs of separation
Erm, from each other.
My old button-ups
Love the loss of two inches
Less to suck-it-in.
Green, green everywhere
Marvel at the foliage
Never see the grass.
Some things never change
My kindergarten teacher
Is still 'Miss' to me.
She sits on a bench
Smiling at the years gone by
And the world she knew.
Resplendent in red
Not a wrinkle mars her face
Stop. Good evening, Miss.
Men with nagging wives
Time for commiseration
No blah-de-blah, bliss.
Old men with grandkids
No generation gap here
They love each other.
Huff, puff, help me, God
Help me make it home this once
Promise I won't binge.
Apple on the fridge
Bite, thank the powers-that-be
More fibre, less fat.
Head hits the pillow
Sleep be a lady tonight
Any dream will do.

Er, shouldn't this be a good thing? It's when the two decide to meet that one needs to hit the track, no?

And then to Casa del Sol?
Pasta seduces
Leaves drift chuckling past juddering thighs
Hope springs eternal.
(Alfredo sauce is best when VERY cheesy.)
And thank you for your comment, it felt good.

Dolon~ Yup they are!
Heretic~ Thanks, re. Yes, unhi ke badaulat. Phone kar!
M3~ :-).
AQC~ LOL. Pasta seduces, walking reduces. And you are not supposed to read two posts at one go! I mean, you can. But not comment on both at one go.
And my comment, meant it :-). Cheers!
