a coupon to the gym

i get a coupon

to the local gym, a three

day pass

to try it out before signing

up for a year

long membership.

so i go to lift some weights,

pump some iron, yo.

do the treadmill,

and pull on wires and pulleys

to tighten up my flab.

but it's too distracting.

there's too many women

in there running around

in skin tight clothes.

bending over, jumping 

around and causing havoc

to the tubby men in there,

as they drop five pound

bar bells onto their toes.

i suddenly realize it's the only

reason that any of them go.
