no herbal tea

he rarely
exercised, never ran around
the block
with a stop watch.
no sit ups,
no crunches or
push ups.
no aerobics, or
zumba.
he was never on
a bicycle,
or used a rowing machine.
never
did jumping jacks,
or watched what
he ate.
cake
and steak were his
things.
no herbal tea, or organic
anything. he chain
smoked camel
cigarettes,
and drank daily
Canadian club whiskey.
it's hard to explain him,
still ticking,
now 93.
