EXERCISE?
I DON'T THINK SO!
I PREFER TO ENJOY THE PRECIOUS TIME I GOT!
I MEAN WHO THE HELL KNOWS?
I COULD FALL DOWN
AN BREAK MY NECK
WHEN IT SNOWS.
I COULD GET HIT BY A BUS.
"WORSE"
GET PUSHED IN FRONT OF A TRAIN,
OR I COULD HAVE ONE OF THOSE
ANURISIZUMS BURST IN MY BRAIN.
NOT TO MENTION CANCER
OR A VIRUS FROM SEX.
I MEAN WHO REALLY KNOWS
WHEN THEIR NUMBERS UP NEXT?
I COULD EAT BAD MEAT.
OR GET HIT IN THE HEAD
WITH DEADLY HALE.
HELL!
I COULD BLOW UP
BECAUSE SOMEONE
PUT A BOMB IN MY MAIL!
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIE IS VERY GREAT.
SO DON'T PUT OFF HAVING FUN!
YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT!
EXERCISE?
I DON'T THINK SO.
I'LL TAKE A TOKE!
DRINK A BREW!
CAUSE HOW LONG YOU LIVE,
IS NOT UP TO YOU!

Dear Patty
This is such a lovely poem - humorous for sure, but also a fact of life!
You have such style - few poets have this gift.
