Every day, every day
I say the same things every day, oh every day
I say the same things every day

Point your toes!
Straighten your legs!
Lift that foot
Just a bit higher!
One more minute
Harder now!
Punch that floor
Flip faster, you!
Pump those arms
Shift your hands
Swing your legs
Body tighter!
Stiffer arms
Longer glide
Keep your chin up!
There’s nothing interesting on the floor

Every day, every day
Oh I say the same things every day

G-d I need a lozenge

I know; it's just (sigh), I look too deeply into everything. That has made life both hard and enjoyable...

and extremely profound. :)

Hee Hee. This poem is rather entertaining. I know I take things too seriously, but I took a deeper meaning from this than maybe was intended: that our lives are consumed with daily and somewhat meaningless routines. :( Sorry.
