Feeling satiated having had his evening meal

There he was sitting pretty lounging on his chair

Contemplating life’s excesses affecting his zeal

To just rest and not stress himself silly in his lair

Had not noticed as he had done most evenings

The kitten pushing a rubber ball across the floor

But this time from the corner of his eyes seeing

It being chased and pushed that he missed before

Happenings revolve around him he mused quietly

Lots of fun if he had time to be rightly involved

Joggers outside passing along the road leisurely

If only he was young enough and had the resolve

Setting a target he told himself of his new plans

Being young at heart would be a good option

Fair to himself he threw a challenge in his mind

Emulating the joggers he should be in the open
