A Newer Me

I had myself a belly
That hung way past my belt.
I ate my fruits and veggies
But nothing seemed to help.

I went out in the mornings
For stretches and a run
All I got was sweat and pain
For all the work I'd done.

I bought a video disk
To facilitate my needs
But working out was useless
And twisted up my knee.

I went to weekly sessions
Yoga was the theme
Now my leg can twist around
To rub my back for me.

At last, I'm feeling better
And sticking out my chest
I seem to be more healthy
While weighing so much less.

Finally what I crave
I consider only fair
Would be to stretch an hour
Or grow a head of hair.
