HELPA Poem by Barbara LynneHELP! To the gym I go each day To firm my hips and thighs Sixty minutes feels like years How my aching body cries! On the treadmill I run and run Yet I don't get anywhere My feet fly off the bicycle Why do I even care? Five pound weights that feel like tons To help my arms get firm My shoulders ache my back goes out My body I twist and squirm What was I thinking, what's wrong with me? To torture myself this way To try and look the way I did In a time called "yesterday"? All I want is a nice hot bath A massage, a tall glass of wine Close my eyes and forget the pain Then I know I'll feel just fine! But then tomorrow, once again To the gym I'll go with a grin I'll never give up though it hurts like !**(!!)* Oh what a mess this body is in!!!
