Exercise is good for you
     In sunshine and in rain.
It helps to oil your rusty joints
    And lubricates the brain.

​

Exercise is good for you:
    It helps ward off the weight,
So walk or dance, skip or swim -
    You’ll soon start feeling great.

​

Exercise is good for you:
    It helps protect your heart.
So, on your feet and off we go.
    It’s now we’ll make a start.

​

Exercise is good for me? - - 
     At my age?  I’m not sure:
I used to dance upon my toes,
    But don’t dance any more.

​

I used to swim and ride my bike,
    And was always good at games,
But once my hair turned nicely white -
     And this seems such a shame, - -

​

It’s then I turned to poetry
    To exercise my brain.
Although searching for a rhyming word
    Can sometimes be a strain!
