Tuesday Morning

“To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
— Buddha

A Sonnet... Just for Laughs
 
Tuesday, I woke up feeling like a teen
 
I moved! Knew I’m the wrong side of sixty
 
Counted my joints hurting, stopped at twenty...
 
I’ve got to get up now, I need caffeine.
 
Someone said exercise eases the pain
 
And so I did.  Stretched my legs and my arms.
 
Cautious, I wish to trigger no alarms
 
Which my old body’s done time and again.
 
Bent my knees and elbows, push-ups, sit-ups
 
Flexed my toes, fingers and swiveled my hips
 
While I grimaced in pain, and pursed my lips
 
Wishing and hoping there’ll be no mishaps.
 
And so I’m ready to face the morning
 
It worked, now only ten joints are hurting!
