The Virtue Of Movement! Poem by Long Tooth

Has life sued your a*s for malpractice
And taken the little you have?
Well, the last time I checked
I found practice needs movement,
You've greased all your wheels,
Or just treat wounds with salve?

Does woman on back want a rescue
Or hope for a Prince she can kiss?
Clear she'll likely get used
On the floor with the lucky
There's no place to fall!
You see movement in this?

Just what does one gain by not acting?
The future's not yours to explore?
Might get hit by a truck?
Isn't motion required if
You hope to stay hired?
Why not check that closed door!

What cost could there be you're afraid of
That's worse than you missing the boat
If you've purchased the fare
But you're late to the station,
Is that all that smart?
Swim might work! Why not float!
