Life Sentence

“Squeeze and stretch”

So says the wretched trainer on TV

Look at me, just look at me

He clenches muscles silently

Easily breezily.

Smiling.


I watch

First languidly

Then angrily

First curiously

Then furiously

Never have I ever seen

On the large or little screen

A smugger bugger.


Could it be, Judge please tell me

Precisely, categorically

Could there be a good disclaimer

Murdering a personal trainer

Especially one who may be A TV personality?
