In Shape

At last, upon us, quarantine

House arrest for days fifteen

A time to write, a time to clean

And the time to get in shape.

I stretch the muscles in my back,

Distinctly hear my sinews crack,

Time to get that six pack

So I can get in shape.

Power yoga will get me there,

I wear the outfit, I tie my hair,

Doesn't take me long to prepare

To finally get in shape.

I arch my back, and touch my toes,

Touch my knees with my nose,

Time to do a difficult pose

And quickly get in shape.

Head under elbow I tuck,

It's easy, maybe it's beginner's luck,

And oh, what's this- I'm stuck, I'm stuck

Irreversibly stuck in this shape.

I' 'm no gymnast, but I thought I'd manage,

I'd get out with no limbs bandaged,

My head is stuck, my feet are caged,

Get me out of this shape.
