Vigor-less


Excercising's over-rated
Its value often over-stated
A recipe far less taxing
Is my preference for just relaxing

Breathing in and out is quite strenuous
But quitting that could be quite tenuous
So I'll inhale and exhale while reposing
And in between, be restfully dozing

For gymnastics, I' m not renowned
I've no desire to be muscle-bound
A walk in the park for a minute or two
Is more than I particularly care to do

I have no need to huff and puff
Raising my eye-lids is more than enough
Throughout each day, I do my best
Excuse me now, I must go and rest

They say exercise can be dangerous, I'm glad you're not living dangerously Stan. Right now the other eye lid.
