Poem by Ada Den Hollander
‘Did you take it?’, I ask
‘Of course, a few days ago’, you say
‘How do you feel?’, me
‘Muscles stiff, my left arm a bit sore’, you
‘It’s risky, some say’, me
‘Not at all, others say’, you
‘You believe them?’, me
‘Yes, I do’, you
‘Why would I do it?’, me
‘It’s the answer, they say’, you
‘To what?’, me
‘A strong and healthy body’, you
‘Shall I go for it too?’, me
‘Definitely’, you
‘Not sure…’, me
‘Especially recommended for the elderly’, you
‘That’s for me then?’, me
‘Yes and it’s on promotion’, you
‘Oh?’, me
‘ Five classes, half price’, you
‘Count me in’, me
‘Good girl’, you.
