Ode to Thee Treadmill

Ode to thee horrible treadmill 
As you call to me to start the day 
Have thee no mercy treadmill
Thou instrument of torture today 

As I climb onto your dark track
Quick start before resistance wins
Thou spinning tracks now attack 
It's time to pay for my eating sins

Oh wow now the speed begins 
Too much too much I cry at last
Hear the playing of the violins
Labored voice where AED I asked 

Slow down unforgiving treadmill 
I despise to be treated this way
Heart rate screams on this hill
The nausea refuses to go away 

Resistance is futile in the last
Mile after mile on dark track
I'm having such a sarcastic blast
The mental sanity now cracks

Oh treadmill a tenth left on thee
Each second seems an eternity 
Yes! I have reached the end hehe
I now rush to vomit with urgency
