Revised Edition
A Very Personal Poem
Ref. #10161:
We need to start from top to bottom
(often works best this way)
First, the hair…
Not the biggest concern
(he notices that he still gets
certain barefaced looks)
Keep it trim,
Skull sharp and neat.
Arms – check
Legs – check
Hands and Feet – check and check
(could not really be without them)
There should be a final note
about this in our files.
Now, the area between:
Gym helps
(a close relationship with
the balance of weights)
Running helps
(a deep commitment to pavement, asphalt,
and stripped grass paled by dirt)
*
There are the previous errors:
Old scars (accepted as permanent now)
Stretch marks (various relief maps of what once was)
Other blemishes (not always in the skin)
Do we need a change this season?
Is this the fashion of the year?
