What a cruel twist of fate

To be born into a species that is aware of their own mortality

The birds in the garden sing with such joy’ no concept of an end to life

The rabbits in the fields make the most of every day

Only humans spend time contemplating their own demise

Only humans spend time trying to extend their three score years and ten

Wearing a tracksuit and running doesn’t seem like a good use of limited time

Cycling in lycra and going nowhere at speed seems a funny way to put off the inevitable

Going to the gym and bathing in other peoples sweat on the machines, I tried it once it’s not for me.

Yoga is a nice thing to do I haven’t done it but I’m sure its ok whether it promotes longevity I cannot tell.

I think walking the dog is the one I would choose headphones listening to glam rock to distract me from my own demise.

It probably will not delay me taking up residence in the little corner of hell reserved for me.
