Easy to Do

 If It Were Only As Easy To Do As To Say

If it were as easy to do as to say
I  would do it today
And not let a moment of pain get in my way.

I would jump from the couch without a groan or a grunt.
I would even jump high and savour the stunt.

I would read War and Peace in almost one sitting.
I would even sit down and do some more knitting.

If it is  as easy to do what I say that I'd like.
I'd even be able to ride up hill on my bike.

Easy to say but not easy to do
I'd sooner do easy to do than easy to say
😊My knees and my back will thank me someday.
