Dr. Seuss’ birthday is March 2nd. So here, a tribute:
I am my body, my body is me.
I’m living inside it, you get what you see.
Treat it with care and the world seems so vast,
Strength and agility make youthfulness last.
Energy leaps from my fingers and toes—
I follow that spirit wherever it goes.
To yoga! To spinning! To run on the ‘Line!
Of course to lift weights, too—(you’ve got to make time…)
Water, I must say, is my drink of choice,
To recharge and hydrate, and here we rejoice—
Because also that water can help keep me slim!
It’s not like your Cokes that you sip on a whim.
One sip, then two sips, then three sips, then four—
Now you are looking but can’t find your core.
It’s missing! It’s buried, it’s in there somewhere—
Your abs were so tight once, you know they’re in there!
Come back to the bright side. Take shelter, get clean.
Bad habits are just that—and from those you can wean.
Remember your body is your living space.
Be tidy, sweep often, live large and EMBRACE!
