Short Exercise Bike Poems

See the petals go round and round
Faster than a running hound!

Hear the groan and hear the moan
Wearing oneself to the bone

Afterwards one's in a sweat
Could use a glass of water I bet!...

Sue got wedged on the exercise bike
And she doesn’t look so lady like
With both legs akimbo
She looked like a bimbo
Told the trainer to go take a hike!

I heard of this snazzy new diet
It looked so good I thought I’d try it
You eat what you like
No exercise bike
Whatever you eat you can fry it

My pizza edge has cheese right through it
I eat cakes and puddings and suet
This diet is great
I haven’t lost weight
But I know that I can stick to it...

Tomorrow, I'll try my exercise
           bike.
           No, not that expensive doozy!
           I'd fall down and be a fallen,
           poetic lollapaloozy!

           My glory days of riding a real
           bicycle have long past.
           But the body needs exercise
           like our minds.
           Not too slow, nor too fast!
           Just sanely paced!

It was funny at first
But now after further investigation 
I think the bubble has burst 
And it's not that funny after all
And we can't change it 
We are stuck with it
And it
Is irritating 
It's like a New Year's resolution 24 month Gym contract 
Direct Debit on your Bank Account 
You wish you could take back 
Like the Exercise Bike and Treadmill 
But you can't 
Because they are passed the point of no return
And the only burn you feel 
Is the raw deal...

Limerick: Once a pretty Pole psychologist

     for Ewa

Once a pretty Pole psychologist
Who preferred fast pedalling cyclist(s)
Kept a velo d’apparte*
And a Tour de France dart
Found trundling Bone-Shaker* merry twist.

•	Velo d’apparte(ment) = exercise bike
•	Bone-Shaker = first French bicycle, invented and manufactured by Michaux during the 1860s, whose framework was made of wrought iron and whose wooden wheels were bounded by iron tires.
