GOD´S GIVEN GYM:

“No pain, no gain”, that hype sold & the spin,

Get fit, get buffed, get toned, muscled & thin,

Work those biceps, with panting tired tongues,

Breathe in & out, get breath into those lungs.

 

Move those legs on treadmills, zumba & the step,

Lift weights, turn wheels, now don´t be so inept,

Dumb-bells & sweat, under monitor´s stern look,

If not done properly, he´ll throw at you, the book.

 

Don´t eat that fat, no gluten, no dairy & no carbs,

Colonic irrigation & fasting, to suffer no more barbs,

Encased in tight lycra, that cuts off normal breath,

Is this really necessary & preferable to welcome death?

 

God gave us legs to walk & we had no need for wheels,

So use them to move, no need for high & painful heels,

He gave us good food, for our body´s perfect machine,

And oxygen to breathe, through air that´s good & clean.

 

Incorporated within our being, God´s good & given gym,

He never said, “Go & get neat & trim & better be so slim,”

He gave us all the equipment, then sensible & bright brain,

But did he ever say the words, “Without the pain there is no gain?”
