Discarded Stories

Title: Discarded Stories

We’re going to throw them in the garbage,
These Peloton bikes that once held power,
A tale from Theo Von set the stage,
UFC CEO Dana White’s gyms no longer showered.

A tale spun by a comic’s wit,
Shattered illusions of motivation and might,
Bikes collecting dust, no longer fit,
A gym’s landscape, devoid of light.

Straining souls, they pedaled on,
Virtual instructors never aware,
But a story changed it all, the magic gone,
As Dana White chose to no longer care.

From comedy’s realm, a message grew,
The power of stories, ones that deride,
Bikes removed, sadness seeped through,
A decision made that would turn the tide.

Garbage-bound, these symbols cast away,
Stories fracture, their impact unclear,
Yet lessons linger, new narratives play,
In echoes of choices, consequences appear.
