For me,this is an introduction to a dietelle poem . It appealed to me even before I read about .the required rhyming structure. Obviously there is nothing forced about your rhyming. Enjoy your last fling at the gym!

I will certainly do so, aching bones or no...
Comment from Susan Larson
What a challenge to write a poem with such a strange syllable count , yet you seem to have done it quite well keeping a nice flow and conveying such a humorous message about the aging process.

Comment from Janilou
I love your poem. After recent surgery on my knee, I discovered that some pain medications cause more harm than good! I can certainly relate to this poem and I agree! I'm happy to be medication free! Lol

You handled the challenge of a diatelle very well, especially your choice of rhymes. It is easy to relate to your Speaker who's aching and feeling his age, yet retains a positive attitude.
