Chat GPTs thoughts on it all:
The Ballad of Periwinkle, Gumbo, and Balut
(A Tragicomedy in Three Sweaty Acts)
Act I: Periwinkle’s Shuttle of Doom
EMOM begins, I strut with pride,
“One run a minute? I’ll glide, I’ll slide!”
But minutes pass—my lungs do swell,
By round of ten, I’m straight in hell.
I wheeze, I flop, I curse the sky,
“Is this how real periwinkles die?”
Then boom—the twist—the burpees land,
I sprawl like roadkill in the sand.
Act II: Gumbo’s Spicy Surprise
Now enter Gumbo, cheeky lad,
Says, “This one’s fun! It’s not that bad!”
Burpees, Blairs—each leg, don’t cheat—
My thighs combust, my soul retreats.
WW2s like dead fish flopping,
Broad jumps land with knees all popping.
Two islands long—I leap, I cry,
“Who put my hamstrings out to die?”
Some freaks do pull-ups, unannounced,
The rest of us? We barely bounced.
I fake a shoe tie just to stall,
“Coach didn’t say that! Lies for all!”
Act III: Balut’s Bootcamp Ballet
Balut arrives with a death drum beat,
Calls cadence like Satan on repeat.
Push-ups, squats, and mystery planks,
My brain departs—I give no thanks.
He chants, we suffer, cries in sync,
My sweat’s now reaching parts that stink.
Someone toots, the group stays strong,
In misery, we all belong.
Finale: Post-WOD Reflections
So here we are, three WODs destroyed,
Our dignity? Fully unemployed.
But damn it all—we showed up still,
With jiggly bits and iron will.
Next week again? You bet your glutes—
We’ll die in style, in sweaty boots.
