The Exercise Bike

There it was at the door the package ordered from the store. I dragged it in and tore it open the answer to my dreams once only hoping. Piece by piece I took each out assembly needed the ad failed to tout. Determined and self assured the instructions I procured. Twenty, thirty minutes of time and then i'd be set just fine. Taped they were, each and every piece and the packaging reluctant for release. An hour plus later with anticipation I still read the directions with hesitation. One part appeared to be missing calm I remained still persisting. Mechanically challenged I suddenly felt while upon the picture I still dwelt. Success at last, two hours in as I sat to admire my win. There it stood, assembled in place and I too tired to enter any race. Perhaps tomorrow i said to myself tossing clothes upon the bars like a shelf.
