Forever Live

I want to live forever
So what should I do?
Walk 5 more miles
Or just do two?

If I stop eating bacon
And take vitamins galore
Would my life extend?
Or, not much more?

If I lifted weights and
Became even stronger?
And had big muscles
Would I live longer?

How about, green tea
Or is it black
I heard it good for you
For something you lack

What about those omega 3’s
Walnuts, flax and fish
I swear some people eat it
And think it is delish!

Should I start smoking?
Or smoke some dope?
Go to church more often
And listen to the pope?

To relieve my stress
Should I pet a dog?
Does a crossword puzzle
Get rid of “brain fog”

Let me see
How bout red wine?
Two glasses a day
Is supposed to be fine!

Blueberries, tomatoes and
Pomegranate juice
I SHOULD eat these?
There’s no excuse!

Wrinkle cream and Viagra
Does that prolong life?
I seriously doubt it
But it might help your wife…

Yes, I want to live forever
Is it worth it to me?
I’ll be too busy reading
What will do it for me…!

I like it!

The thought of living forever is both appealing and scary to me. This captured mans desire to cheat death and the ways society capitalizes on those that do. Thanks for sharing it and I am thoroughly enjoying reading your work!
Stay well, One love and God bless!

Hi TS...

Thanks so much! i thoroughly enjoy reading your work also!!!
yes, we all listen to what the experts have to say about being healthier and living longer...but i wonder if it really helps???? (i hope so...but i wish M&M"s were on the list of good things to keep me alive longer!!!) if they were, i'd live to be 1000.....

great!

I really liked this too. I think that people go overboard trying to listen to everyone else's advice instead of listening to their own bodies' needs. Good commentary, even if that wasn't exactly what you intended.

thanks guys!
yeah, i eat everything now....but in moderation! how simple, huh? and exercise...the best medicine out there!
i appreciate your nice comments!
Linda

I know of what you speak!

I used to eat real ice cream, now it's non-fat frozen yogurt, etc., etc., and so forth. As long as I keep eating stuff that doesn't taste good and take my statins I'll live forever... And that's a good thing?

Thanks, again, for a very funny poem. It hits home!
