My hubby and I decided we needed to do something together to improve our fitness. He was very entertaining.
We’ve Taken up Swimming

We decided to go swimming this morning.
Our pool lets the oldies in free.
They want to encourage more fitness
A good idea I think you’ll agree.
I haven’t seen my hubby so excited
As he viewed the ladies with a gleam in his eye,
And he entered the water with a manly strut,
Hoping they would think him a handsome kind of guy.
Unfortunately no one had told him
That he was entering the deepest part,
And he disappeared beneath the foam
Then came up trying to look so smart.
As he coughed and spluttered discreetly
His face turned a deep shade of red,
And he struggled to keep himself afloat
As the deep water he had to tread.
Once recovered and rather subdued
He began to swim the twenty lengths he’d set.
But his speed was so slow that the ladies behind
Made him feel he was under threat.
He decided a Jacuzzi would suffice,
And when I returned from my swim,
He was in there with six lovely ladies
And entertaining them with much vim.
