Exercise | Paul's Poem

The A to Z of keeping 'fit for life' 

I could get enough exercise  

every morning -

Airing my opinions 

Belting down the corridor 

Cruising for a bruising 

Dodging my duties 

every afternoon -

Evading my responsibilities 

Flying off the handle  

Getting annoyed  

Hurling insults  

and every evening -

Imbibing anything alcoholic 

Jumping to conclusions 

Kicking heads 

Leaving a mess  

But I try to resist all those tempting impulses  

and instead –  

exercise my best efforts to 

Make other hearts merry  

Nurture the needy  

Own up when wrong 

Promote peaceful life 

Quote the right verses 

Rush to help the falling 

Speak up for the truth  

Tell no lies 

Urge acceptance of God's promises 

Volunteer to help 

Watch my language  

Xert a good influence  

Yes to only moral ideas  

Zealously live my beliefs
