Still Running!

Poetry 1 Minute

What are your favourite physical activities or exercises?

It always got to be running

How ever often you ask

It doesn’t seem so very long

Since you asked us last.

I’m still an old man running

It’s what I like to do

Though I’m an age when people ask

Are you running still?

Yes I am still running

It makes me feel alive

You stay home with your aches and pains

I’m off up the road.

I’m still running because I can

I can because I do

I’ll still be running while I can

If that’s ok with you?

Use it or lose it’s my motto

And I’ve not lost it yet.

See no reason for stopping

I’m only seventy two.
