There it was in the newspaper,
A headline that said,
“Could you handle a fitness holiday?”
Why should I?
A holiday is for relaxing,
Strolling gently amongst the green hills,
By cooling streams,
Or paddling the breaking waves,
The waves on the sandy beach.
I do not want to lose breath
As exercises cause muscle pain.
I want to sit by the pool,
Watching others swimming,
Just sit there,
With something wet and cool to hand.
I don’t want to run in circles
Getting more and more tired.
I want to walk gently through wooded glades,
Sharing natures peaceful world.
“Could you handle a fitness holiday”
No, not with all the stress
That it would bring to my soul,
Relaxing is the way to go,
The way to go on holiday.
