I Have a Wish

20/12/97
I have a wish when I grow bigger
To be like Arnold Swarzenegger,
To have those muscles that stick right out,
Not like mine - brussels sprouts.

I have a wish when I'm alone
To be like Sylvester Stallone,
To leap and fight and do things fiendish
But all I do is sit and dream-wish.

Bodybuilding's what I'll do:
Lift those weights,
Peddle that bike,
Do ten circuits
Then go for a hike.
Skip and run, perform aerobically,
Punch and lift and fight heroically.
Make my muscles bigger
Like Arnold Swarzenegger
Build my bones
Like Sly Stallone.

But... ouch! That's what you get for being so keen,
I've pulled a muscle so all I'll ever be now is Mr Bean!
