Sorry about that - unfortunate typo! I meant to say well done and I hope there are enough rhymes to satisfy your harshest critic.
You have redeemed yourself in the eyes of this American philistine. Bravo!An obscene frittering of caloriesand chunks of fattened salariesthat could be fed to the world’s thinor at least spent on beer or other sin.That really makes you think. Hmmmmmm, I should be drinking more beer.
Pretty darn nice poem -- evocative and sensitive.
Great work. I love the way your gym trip brought to mind the passage of social history. I do not, however, love the guilt I'm feeling at not having visited one for 4 years.

Brilliant, funny, evocative.
