helped strong bodies eight ways

for about a year

before clever scientists

found four more ways

helped build strong bodies

okay shoes off.   could be

so down on da rug boys and girls

and spread ‘em

pulled in a circle for an hour

by a Shetland pony.

while all of them,

and eyes open

making the circle,

enjoyin’ the go around.

and there’s equipment

to listen to your calls,

an we drive round

and listen in your house

we’ll feed you

hints in the media

and blur you

with delusion

anymore ‘n that
