I witnessed bad form today
Yes I witnessed it in several ways

First it was
The arm wrestlers
On the t.v.

Pushing against each other
It was best out of three

Red faced
And gasping for air

Each wanted to win
No matter how high
The cost

When force is used
The tao is lost

I mean arm wrestling was fun
In high school

Won't these guys grow up?
These total tools

There is a bunch of money involved
No surprise there

I watched it  
For a few minutes

And I heard the 400 pound man say
"You'll be a man someday"

His opponent was 150 pounds less
And did fairly well
Competing against this fat mess

Somebody tell the fat man
It doesn't matter if you win

If you have so much extra fat
Your chances of living a long life
Are slim

And then I worked out
Doing crunches on the floor
I was resting on the mat

And a guy said
"I wanted to use that"

Well I didn't realize he was waiting there

He could have said "Excuse me, are you almost done?"
Gym people can be a bit rude
And it's no fun

Then  watched him do the lat pull down
Arching himself back
Like a total clown

You are suppose to keep your back straight
I could have told him
But it was too late

Yes I witnessed today
Bad Form
In several ways
