He has a wonderful physique,
The envy of all of his friends.
In a mirror he likes to peek,
While doing his squats and his bends.
But today was quite different,
Sort of a break in his routine,
As in front of a truck he went,
When sideswiped by a limousine.
As he lay there on the pavement,
He thought to himself, "Such a waste.
All those lone vain hours I’ve spent,
Delicious food I’ll never taste."
The ambulance crew came that day -
A sheet over his face they’d drape.
Friends filed by his casket to say,
"Never saw him in better shape."
