The Exercist: A Not-So-Divine Comedy about Health & Fitness in Devilishly Clever Verse

by Will Shakespeare (poetry blogger)

Overview

Poetry blogger Will Shakespeare is at it again — this time with a parody of Dante Alighieri's classic, "The Divine Comedy."

When an overweight guy's family forces him to get help dealing with his demon pal Sloth, he goes to see an Exercist. (That's a specialist who gets rid of demons by working 'em hard at the gym.) But neither the Exercist nor the demon is very cooperative and our guy is caught in the middle... until he comes up with his own plan for dealing with BOTH problems.

Will Shakespeare is the Resident Bard at the "Will Shakespeare for Hire" poetry blog. Visit him at
