Decade
Every decade becomes harder
to lose the weight
If falls off in your teens and twenties
Lingers longer in your thirties
By forty it is a part of you
and harder to evict
At fifty you think it’s impossible to set adrift
But what else can you do
but do the work
as hard as it is
to let it go
Thoughts
I’ve been trying to get fit for ages. It’s taking much longer than it ever use to but at least I am free from injury. Stop reading this. Go out for a walk or run.
