Aqua fit survivor!

An old, reworked poem about the delights and tribulations of aqua fit.

Aqua fit survivor!

 

Friday’s my day for Aqua fit,

my biceps bulged and triceps bit.

I leapt and jogged,

jiggled and bobbed,

The pace? It went lickety-split.

 

 

I kicked up waves in the water,

Did what the coach said I oughta.

My balance was lost

as my limbs were tossed.

Surrendered myself to slaughter.

 

Then I galloped off to the gym,

hoping to become a bit trim.

The dumb bell was dropped,

on one foot I hopped.

Dreams of fitness starting to dim.

 

Now I’m taking a coffee break,

my muscles are screaming they ache.

My body screams ‘Ouch!’

I lounge on the couch,

only soothed by chocolate and cake.

well, good for you! HA! If there's ever a way to be soothed it is definitely chocolate anything, and cake is a pretty good soother, too. Also relaxing on the sofa. Cute poem. Your first two verses were so exhausting, I had to smile at your then, galloping off to the gym. Am thinking thou art a glutton for punishment! :)

As an Aqua Fit refugee myself, I can certainly corroborate every single emotion here...well, except for the dropped dumb bell, thankfully. Hilarious romp, this one! Thanks for the smile today. xoxox
