Jaunty, sprightly, here I go
up my daily hill
starting off with heel to arch
switching now from ball to toe
from minor moan to grudging groan
then gasp to curse to self-berate -
(“Show-off! Hypochondriac! Cretin!”
Why? Oh why?! OH WHY??? !!!!!”)

But going up is not the snag;
the devil’s coming down:
for gaily on my way back home,
I smile and shrug; “WHY NOT!”
