DO I LABEL THIS ONE FITNESS OR OLD AGE?

This is the first winter

In my winters of recollection

That I haven’t bundled up

And walked or hiked for an hour each

Day in the great out-of-doors.

“Do you want to go for a little walk

before it gets dark?” Amy calls,

when she returns home from work.

The sun actually was shining;

The air pollution vanished.

“We have to walk uphill to get warm,”

she suggested.

Pant.  Wheeze.  Puff.

“I’m out of breath.

I can’t believe how out of shape I am.”

“You better get in shape before

we go to Bryce,” she warns.

YES, MA’AM! 

Bryce Canyon Winter Festival.

Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing,

Hiking, swimming.

I won’t want to lag behind.
