I Am On a Treadmill

I’M ON A TREADMILL 
HOLDING ON TIGHT 

RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT OF LEFT
LEFT FOOT IN FRONT OF RIGHT 
BUT I DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING ANYWHERE 

I MUST KEEP MOVING 
HOWEVER
OR I WILL TRIP 
AND FALL

THE SPEED MAY VARY
THE SURROUNDINGS MAY CHANGE

RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT OF LEFT
LEFT FOOT IN FRONT OF RIGHT 
BUT I DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING ANYWHERE 

I MUST KEEP MOVING 
HOWEVER
OR I WILL TRIP 
AND FALL

I PUSH THE STOP BUTTON
AND RETURN THE NEXT DAY 

RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT OF LEFT
LEFT FOOT IN FRONT OF RIGHT 
BUT I DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING ANYWHERE 

I MUST KEEP MOVING 
HOWEVER
UNTIL I  FALL
