Words penned by our very own Denise Antle


If I looked like her, my problems would be solved

If I looked like her,
my problems would be solved,
Beyonce’s the type of lady
‘round whichthe world revolves.

She’s curv-i-lious I can judge
and there’s certainly no doubt,
if I looked just a little like her,
I’d forever be out and about.

I could wear sequined gowns and crowns
and stiletto’s to work too,
but I’d likely fall and hit my head
and then what would I do?

I could kick and jump just like her,
I could also groove and bump
But I’m not so coordinated
and I’m missing the key-- a rump.

oh! I guess I’ll just keep being me,
but I’ll still make my comments.
But, I guess I know if I looked like her,
There’d be scores of other laments.

Too much money, too much fame
too many fans to please,
but I’ve got all I need here on the isle,
friends and work and time to cease!

Who needs her hassle?
But, yep, it’s official
If I looked like her,
my problems would be solved.



ODE TO THE STEPPER

There you stand
Tall and lean
Just waiting for me
to make a workout scene.

I choose my time
and then my course.
As steps start to fall
I'm full of remorse.

Ten minutes in
and I'm starting to sweat.
I'm breathing hard -
my shirt is all wet.

Twenty minutes -
my lung is bleeding
a full body cast
is what I'll be needin'.

Thirty minutes -
praise the Lord!
I'll be the fittest patient
in the hospital ward.

You tell me I'm done
and calories I've burned
but only I know
all the lessons I've learned.

Don't forget water
and accept you'll be sore.
Hold on at the end
or pass out on the floor.

Long live the stepper!
