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!

What position did you use to write this poem.
Good fun write Laura.
Worrier pose..........
This is a real hoot with a touch of Pam Ayres but decidedly your own - loved it.
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'.
so funny.......... didn't know people got that - horses do of course...........
Thank you Lorna!
What a charming poem!
Lovely!
I walk as a hobby!
My way of de-stressing!
Keep writing

Good - no tangles...........
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!
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.
Will do!
OK Fred- they look doable..............
A great write for a
fun read, Lorna!
A good way to start
the day..and I don’t
mean yoga!😂
