Dispatcher - Table Down!

Lorna

I used to ride horses

Legs stuck tighter than glue

I could run like the wind

And dance the night through

 

Time catches up

Now pounding won't do

Try yoga they said

It will sooth and renew

 

So here I am standing

On my right leg

With the toes of my left foot

Hanging over my head

 

On the back of those toes

I must now put my focus

While my leotard top

Is threatening to choke us

 

I'm watching the grass grow

Contemplating my navel

And all the while "ommmmmming"

As best as I'm able

 

I'll never untangle

I stand like a pretzel

I'm fated to crash

And take down a table

 

I wonder exactly

How long can I last

I sweat every minute

Wow this is a blast!

      This is a real hoot with a touch of Pam Ayres but decidedly your own - loved it.

      • Lorna

        Stop talking and help me untangle myself............

          Reminds me of my Dad when he had an operation for twisted gut - the first thing his brother said to him after the op was 'Trust you to get knotted'.

            Lorna, you just made my day! While all stanzas are good, I especially like nos. 5 & 6! I think yoga was invented by skinny masorchists!

            • Lorna

              It's an exercise best done by those who can fantasize about how good they look when they do it!

                There is something called 'The five Tibetans'. Look it up on the internet. It is a series of five exercises, very similar or maybe even part of yoga. Not too hard to do, but great for your health.
