Fitness Beats Pandemic
When the
COVID-19 bound the boy to his home
His only solace was his laptop and his phone.
The stats were his oxygen, the news was his tea,
Online classes, then videogames—no time was free.
Whenever he could, he'd lick all plates clean,
Until all the tasty food was nowhere to be seen.
Cookies, chips, wafers, muffins, pastries, and cakes
He ate and ate and ate the most liberal intakes.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all his snack times,
He became fatter than Humpty Dumpty of the rhymes.
What once was called "tummy" was now a basket of flab
Skin dangling from arms, weak body, he became a fatty slab.
Then one day he woke up, made up his mind to work out,
He did push-ups, squats, and lunges, and ate healthy sprouts.
Healthy food, daily exercise and 8 hours of sleep,
He now boasts good memory and more knowledge to keep.
He’s now thankful that he broke his cycle of being lethargic,
Because he has realized that fitness beats pandemic.
