Every morning, I roll out of bed,
In the forest, I carefully tread.
By the lake, where the wild roam free,
I huff and puff between the trees.
The birds and the bees fly with ease,
While I’m wheezing in the breeze.
Miles and miles, I’ve put behind,
Hoping a slimmer self to find.
The sun peeks through, a golden sight,
But on my mind is appetite.
Fresh air’s nice, but samosas are nicer,
My waistline grows, despite being a hiker.
I walk and walk, every day without fail,
Through winding paths and nature trails.
But as I look down at my frame,
My stubborn fat remains the same.
I vow to protect this natural wonder,
From poachers and human blunder.
For if this forest meets a tragic fate,
My exercise is gone; I’ll gain more weight!
So, I’ll keep walking, come what may,
Though the roads might fade away.
But deep down, I know it’s true:
This forest walk is like a trip to the zoo!
