MAN...
The human being
To gods akin, Is, as proven by science,
Made of bones, flesh, skin,
And the occasional ounce of brilliance.
Muscles are for keeping in motion.
The mind is for edification
And the odd reflexion
That life is not only about digestion.
To maintain this body, it isn't enough to feed it.
Young and old, listen to me:
Exercise, that's it.
Best is a little training already in the morning.
It does you good, keeps worries at bay,
Helps with your digestion and blood circulation.
Breakfast can be enjoyed with a clear conscience now.
Wholemeal bread tastes great, wow!
So does the occasional fresh egg.
Then to work, he mustn't tarry
He who relies on a salary.
It may be the only way
For him to fulfill his dreams one day.
Usually close to noon, the body requires food.
Let's walk to the table, guys. Often that's your sole exercise.
A full stomach won't study willingly.
Small portions are a good idea.
Trousers won't be too tight If in jogging you delight.
Sometimes, it would be good too to your TV to say adieu.
Before going to bed
Choose to practice sport.
He who observes all this
Goes to sleep contented
Because a good night
Starts at the beginning of the day alright.
So remember: exercise and food.
Food and exercise must harmonise.
