Here I go
On my twenty-minute run/walk
Sustained exercise for the third time
In a week,
After taking my aspirin a day,
To be followed by
One or two glasses of red wine
In the evening.
Then I can gobble my oat-bran muffin
For lunch, prior to
Skinning the chicken
Or boiling the halibut
To go on my lettuce and cucumber
Salad (hold the mayo)
For dinner.
I'm going to live
Forever.
