This one I've heard a time or ten and just had to go at it at my den. For it tends to come from the lazy. Did I name call? Whoopsy daisy. Does a daisy go whoopsy though? Damned if I know.
The sit back and stare.
Sometimes in a pair.
They laugh and giggle,
As their whole body gets a wiggle.
Then comes the excuse.
The one many let loose.
Some can't, but most are lazy.
Trying to hide away in the hazy.
Why eat right or work out?
The first part they shout.
I've known healthy people who died.
The second part in some variation that is spied.
And then deluded they stay.
Believing what they say.
But isn't it the truth?
Yep, that it is at one's booth.
Can do everything right and still croak.
Can just be the fate of a lass or bloke.
That is what they hold onto tight.
Reasoning that let's them feel all right.
Time to burst that bubble.
Maybe bury it in rubble.
Let's pull some stats from my ass.
I'll let it out with some gas.
What are the odds for those they use?
Let's say 1 in 100 as you peruse.
1 in 100 people who take care will still croak.
That just made some nut light up a smoke.
Now let's flip and flop.
Let some other stats drop.
What are the odds that the lazy die?
Care to give that a try?
Probably 30 in 100 or so.
Wow, not quite as low.
Now let's do a little more.
What are the odds some disease or other health issue will come ashore?
75 in 100 sounds right.
Damn, I ruined the lazy person's night.
So whether you tell that excuse to stranger or daughter,
Sorry, it doesn't hold much water.
Ever hear that excuse at your sea? The lazy or those refusing to change sure let it fly free. All they get is a pfffffffffffffft from me. Healthy doesn't guarantee a long life will come to be, but you have way better odds of living longer and being disease free. My stats aren't legit that I used for my spree. They were just there to let the lazy realize they are full of strat. So ends this sass from the cat. If you wish to do nothing, power to you, but don't give me that healthy people die too crap at our zoo. Whoops, I was supposed to end my sass. I guess I'm just a mouthy little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

ReplyDeleteMorning Hank!
DeleteBack to 4
DeleteOn tour
That's 4 in a row
DeleteOk, taking it slow!
Hank
Good evening True
DeleteNights passing through!
Hank
Slow and up
DeleteNo hiccup
Pretty quick
DeletePretty slick
1 does the trick
Beats sitting on a brick
Or watching a SJW flick...
That it will
DeleteOn any hill
It's all to easy to make excuses in life.....rather to face up to the situation.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
That it is indeed
DeleteExcuses sure take seed
Sure you could still croak. But a healthier and longer life still beats an unhealthy shorter life any day.
ReplyDeleteYep, beats it any time indeed
DeleteBut yet they still plead
There were some flip flops here a while back but Simon chewed them up!
ReplyDeleteFixed those
DeleteOr just holes for toes
Sometimes a condition comes on
ReplyDeleteEven though healthy was drawn
Better to take care
Even when life is not fair
Yep, can come on no matter the life
DeleteAnd it always causes strife
everything in moderation, though I did over do the lazy this weekend
ReplyDeleteHaha me too!
DeleteLazy came to be for me...
haha a lazy way
DeleteCan work many a day
I think it is better to increase my odds
ReplyDeleteeating and exercising helps in many ways
but, sorry I am not eating any cod...yuck
wishing you health filled days....
haha yeah, we'll avoid the fish
DeleteI think the health stuff skipped me with any wish
Yeah me too, but I still wish
DeleteWish you may wish you might
DeleteDon't let the bed bugs bite
Looking around at others my age and I'll take my active, healthy vegan lifestyle any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteYep, just have to look
DeleteKnow how it goes at ones nook
Lazy only works for so long as an excuse
ReplyDeleteThen one has to get up off their butt
And do something worthwhile
Even if it is just petting a mutt.
Betty
That they do
DeleteBut only realized by few
If Trump starts a nuclear war, it technically won't matter what you eat.
ReplyDeleteThat it won't
DeleteEat you don't
The Excuse To Use Sure Does Amuse!
ReplyDeleteLaughing it out loud letting loose
It being lazy
And all hazy
Acts strange and weird without booze
Hank
Weird without
DeleteCan work about
My husband had a law professor who always said, "Excuses only satisfy the person giving them." We use it all the time now!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great thing to say indeed
DeleteSo true at any feed
I often wonder where they get their stats from. Probably from dogs.
ReplyDeleteYep, blame the mutt
DeleteMore brains than most a nut
I think heredity has a lot to do with your health.
ReplyDeleteAlso taking good care of yourself.
Eat good and exercise.
And you will be healthy and wise.
Of course sometimes an illness comes along.
And every prediction is totally wrong.
Yeah, it can come
DeleteEven when things are done right and then some
Reminds me of the old joke on Sanford and Son where Fred Sanford talked about a friend who was "killed by cigarettes." He was "run over by a tobacco truck. Truck ran over his nice, clean lungs. I was smoking at his funeral."
ReplyDeletehaha have to watch those truccks
DeleteOf course if hit, your family could sue for a few bucks
You are so right. It doesn't guarantee longevity but it sure ups the odds and improves quality of life:)
ReplyDeleteYep, both it will do
DeleteEven if no guarantees come through
Any excuse will do but still doesn't guarantee a longer life but maybe a healthier one and a happier one. Have a great week Pat.
ReplyDeleteYep, those are the two keys
DeleteBut an excuse comes through when they please
It's the fat, married ones that like to say:
ReplyDeleteEat and drink it all. You'll die anyway.
That is true
DeleteKnow at least 2
My youngest BIL just had stents put in his heart again. The first time around he had a change of heart, ate well, was exercising, etc., then he slacked off and went back to eating junk (gained weight back, etc.) Not sure how much they're related, but I know he's sure not feeling great right now. I'm wishing him the best and hoping he goes back to healthy living. Better to try than not, esp. when it comes to something like life!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I didn't know you could come and go to Cuba at will!!
Yeah, may not be
DeleteAnd hope healthy living returns at his sea
But comes a point where 1+1=2
All the bad adds up on you
Canadians can come and go
easy peasy without being a foe
I once knew someone who didn't want to brush their teeth because they said you were just brushing the enamel right off. Needless to say, I didn't stand to close to them when I had to talk to them.
ReplyDeleteWonder how many cavities they had
DeleteOr if they still have their teeth at their pad
I see this every day
ReplyDeleteExcuse and excuse is all they have to say.
The dog ate my homeworkis what I hear
I know they have their head up their ass..er...I mean rear.
haha up there it stays
DeleteOne never ending maze
