Thank you
Mister Gym Teacher
for all your dedication
work and drive
making me into the figure
of health and fitness
you see before you.

Understand
what you have wrought.
Realize
the being supreme
I have become.
You made me what I am
and I have you
and only you
to thank.

I can do a layup
and run around a circle
and stare forlornly at a rope.
These are but a few of the skills
I have learned
from your tutelage.

I am what you have made me
and I owe everything to you.
Look upon your great works,
Mister G.T.
and despair!
