Ode to the audacity of the text user

who whittles on the phone to post

TikTok videos galore while sitting

on the exercise machine, earning

the ire of those who strive for solid gains,

as they endure the agony of people who shamelessly

text on the exercise machine - pumping out

social media posts instead of pumping iron.

Please do text on the exercise machine, you overly

tanned bimbo with blonde hair and silicone lips.

I did not use the exercise machine to pump iron

into my muscular veins while you're too vain

to get off the exercise machine, choosing instead

to pump out social media posts to an unknown audience

of creepy men and vain narcissists.

But you know what would make it easier?

Simply - put the fucking phone down,

or kindly get the fuck out,

so in peace we may earn our maximum gains.
