156 Steps (Revised)

 156 Steps

We ascended 156 steps nearer

the sky to get fresh air when

lunch-time wandering – awed at

others running by, striving to get

fit during their lunch break

I only need strength enough to get

to the library and my colleague

reserves renewed for tackling

fuzzy sentences taught in those

weird education documents

I return to a madman’s rambling

informing the President he needs

money in order to change the

appointment of Attorney General

I am too hungry to care less

Exercise without eating’s not such

a good idea, 156 steps means I

need to eat immediately!

[Walking before eating is self-defeating]

[ORIGINAL]
 
One hundred and fifty six steps

we climbed, my colleague and I,

nearing the sky ascending up high

wandering lunch-time to get fresh

air - wondering at others passing

us by in running kit determined to

get fit during their lunch-time break

I just want to be strong enough to

make it to the library, my colleague

only wants to renew energy reserves

to tackle the fuzzy sentences taught

in education documents while I return

to a madman’s rambling informing the

President he needs money in order to

change the appointment of Attorney

General - I am too hungry to care

Exercise without eating not such a

good idea, one hundred and fifty

six steps and now I need to eat

immediately!
