The Ultimate Gift of Fitness

John’s reached the mark at thirty-eight.
So far he’s holding up quite great.
A little jiggle; little sag!
What’s that I see? A saddle bag!

Still all in all he’s doing well.
At least that’s what I’m try’n to sell.
It’s time you start to do some sports.
I found those Geriatric shorts.

My birthday gift and plan for you,
is helping out in shaping you.
I know you want to get in shape.
From present fitness, to escape!

So now begins your training sessions.
Now begins you new obsessions.
Starting slow and picking up,
til flab and sag start sticking up.

We’ll loosen joints, so full of rust.
We’ll blow off all the settled dust.
We’ll turn your loose to firm and tight.
We’ll go for August, your first fight.

You’ll be so fit; you’ll be so lean.
We will not stand for in between.
So here’s what we had spoken of.
Old habits must be broken of.

A regimen to make your habit!
To get you healthy as your rabbit!
Here is where the tough get going.
Won’t be long and you’ll be showing.

Muscles which you’ve long desired!
The ones like you have long admired!
So from this day, your workout’s started.
Hope you’ll hit it hard; whole-hearted!

So that this birthday gift pans out!
I’ll do my best to work plans out.
With your hard work; cooperation!
In months you’ll get your transformation!
