Aerobics Class

To-day we have aerobics class. Yesterday,

We had hardcore spinning. And to-morrow morning,

We shall have what to do after working out. But to-day,

To-day we have aerobics class. The glazed donuts

Glisten like rays of sun hitting the surface of the ocean,

          And to-day we have aerobics class.

This is the fruits and vegetables isle. And this

Is the whole-wheat section, whose use you will see,

When you step onto the scales. And this is the dairy fridge,

Which in your case you are not allowed in. Chocolate and chips

Hold in the sweets section their delicious, tempting gestures,

           Which in our case we are not allowed in.

This is the clasp of the sports bra, which is always released

With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me

See anyone using this finger before class is up. You can do this workout quite easy

If you have any strength in your body. The bosoms

Are fragile and meant to be resting on the sofa, but we can never let anyone see

          Any of us using our finger.

And these you can see are the low fat alternatives. The purpose of this

Is to trick your minds, as you see. We can slide it

Down our throats without much guilt: we call this

Easing the Diet. And down our throats

Goes the unhealthy binge that the sweeteners make us crave:

           They call it easing the Diet.

They call it easing the Diet: It is perfectly easy

If you have any strength in your body: like the low fat alternatives,

And the sports bra, and the whole-wheat products, and the fruits and vegetables,

Which in our case we have not got; and the fat on our bodies

Strapped in tight sportswear and the unhealthy binge goes down our throats,
           For to-day we have aerobics class.
