I remember when we use to walk everywhere! <br />Driving back then, was never really an option! <br />To school, to church, to the grocery store <br />And on the way I remember, while skipping and hoppin! <br /> <br />Now I'm lucky to get up, to even answer the phone! <br />Have a remote control, to change the channels on T.V.! <br />Then we all wonder why, we're all out of shape! <br />I know this sitting, is taking a toll on me! <br /> <br />And it was all done, in the name of progress! <br />Progress? Well it shouldn't look like this! <br />Most American's, are now overweight! <br />Sitting in chairs, their butts JUST fit! <br /> <br />Now I wonder what would happen? <br />If we were all, maybe to walk a mile a day? <br />I guarantee, we'd look a lot different! <br />In a more slimmed down, much healthier way! <br /> <br />Why wait until New Years Eve? <br />To make those resolutions, you know you'll never keep? <br />Just get up and walk a mile a day! <br />Get up off your backsides! <br />and use those things we all call our feet!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/use-to-walk-everywhere/
