The Retired Bloke

Being Thin

Sometimes I’m fat sometimes thin

Occasionally I have a double chin

There’s no big secret to losing weight

You can’t adjust your adult height

To spread the load of excess timber

Or wish yourself a little slimmer

It’s all about food and exercise

Nothing intelligent nothing wise

Just resist the urge for another biscuit

A little walk, jog or swim is almost implicit

Avoid the need to binge on telly soaps

Or reality shows with blokes being blokes

Live your life not watch others live theirs

Avoid the lift always take the stairs

See the sofa as your ultimate enemy 

Regular activity will help you mentally 

At the end of the day life is about choices

Being sedentary will inevitable destroy us 

So get off your backside lose that double chin

Before you know it you will be thin!
