Affirmative haikus of a marathon non-runner.

1. 

I must watch my steps 

From living room to kitchen

Lest they add up to 5K

2.

This very instant

I let go all desires of 

10K or any K, OKAY?

3. 

I refuse the thought

Of half or full marathon

Pandemic or not

4.

Towards anything

There’s no need for me to run

Except dogs (they’re so cute, who’s a good doggy? They are. They all are.)

5.

Run, sprint, jog, dart, dash 

Hurry, scurry, bolt, gallop 

No

6.

Things I must avoid

Treadmills, Parks and Recreation 

(Not the TV show – a hoot)

7.

The scariest movie

Of twentieth century 

Is Marathon Man 

8.

I learn my lesson

I am allergic to dogs 

(sad face emoji)

9.

Against Crossfitters

And all kind of Tough-Mudders

Restraining orders

10.

I was born ready 

For the next challenge: triathlon 

Just kidding (hehehe) 

11.

Raining cats and dogs 

Means I’m allergic to both

Self-note at Cat-café 

12.

If you don’t pet them

Do animals know they’re loved? —

Schrödinger’s cute and allergic cat 

13.

From this cruel world

I want to run far away

Not literally
