Ten Thousand Steps a Day - a Nonsense Poem
Ten Thousand Steps A Day
To walk ten thousand steps a day
is overwhelming, let me say
*
I put my trackies and joggers on
but by that time, the urge has gone
*
I'd rather sit and have coffee and cake
Tho' my hips, I'm sure, would wear that mistake
*
I'd love to dance the night away
and be like my kids and have fun and play
*
They never count kilojoules, carbs or fat
They're never still, kids are always like that
*
They love to run and jump and play
they're on the go the whole of the day
*
So maybe I should copy them
and act more like a kid again.
