Running In The Family?

Would it be awful

If I ate a waffle

Instead of nutrition for dinner?

Not so, my lad!

No, a waffle ain’t bad

But you’ll have to work hard to get thinner.

Would it be ok

If I sat for a day

And watched TV and ate cheese?

Sure, sloth is fun

If you go for a run

To make sure you don’t get obese.

Thanks dad. You’re wise!

I guess me and the guys

Will eat waffles and cheese and relax,

Then we’ll go for a run

When the vegging is done

So our bellies don’t spill from our slacks!

Hey son, I see

Your weight starts with a three

And is neither four digits nor two.

Yeah dad, turns out

Running didn’t work out

But at least now I look more like you!
