All they said was true.
I am mortal, who knew?
I've always said, I can't die,
It would ruin my image, oh my!

I died of respiratory failure.
It wasn't old age, that's for sure.
For I was forever young.
At least until that was taken by my lung.

I am the godfather of fitness.
So now in all seriousness,
Exercise and eat healthy,
That's the key to be truly wealthy.

The author's comments:
After hearing about the death of Jack LaLanne, I decided to do a little research about him. I couldn't get myself to stop researching him and I had a poetry assignment to do. So, I decided to write my poem on fitness guru, Jack LaLanne.
