poetic justice

hey brothers,
ran across this little rhyme, and thought it might fit well here........

ODE TO A BODYBUILDER

we push we pull we sweat we strain,
you'd think we dont have half a brain.
we keep lifting all along,
we think its gonna make us strong.

the weights we lift are big and round,
they are quite heavy pound for pound.
some are vinyl some are steel,
weight is weight, thats how i feel.

we bench we curl we press we squat,
and counting reps, thats quite a lot.
we do four sets, or five instead,
and when we're through, we're almost dead.

we get much pleasure from the pain,
which comes along with sweat and strain.
just why we suffer most dont know,
we build up strength from head to toe.

the couch potatoes watch us dyin,
pumpin all that gruesome iron.
but while they loaf and get quite round,
we add that muscle, pound for pound...........

from jimbos gym.

It's true, but a little more thought could have gone into it. My english teacher would have gave me a.... D at most. All poems don't have to rhyme ya know.
