First exercise session on the mat for
Almost a month, it feels like, and it showed
Only managed seventy press-ups - poor
Compared to my usual score - one hundred
Or more. One hundred and ten, my record
But now I'm back in the groove, I'll improve
By later this week, I'm sure I'll have scored
Closer to that level. Experience proves
That practice makes perfect. Like my uke groove
To Marvin Gaye, among others, I soar
With the high notes and swoop to bass notes loud
And low and rhythmic, a sound that I love
Maybe I should play instrumentals, for
Why sing if that just drags down the standard?
