Memories of the time some years ago when I did yoga.  (Old gits may remember Johnny Kidd and the Pirates' "Shakin' All Over")

 

Our Leader had not an ounce of fat on her

So found it easy holding Shavasana

She started us with words “Just touch your toes.

Now you can try to hold the Lotus Pose”

But I am just an old crone

I let out a low moan

Tremors down my backbone

Aching All Over

 

 

It wasn’t just the Garudasana

Or for the time I held Trikonasana

But trying to nail Baddha Konasana

Caused me to bust my shorts zip fastener

And so to my dismay

Next day my bones would pay

As in agony I lay

Aching All Over

 

 

I have decided yoga is not for me

I've decided that it is purgatory

Now these days I get my pain for free

Now I watch the Spurs on my TV

Shivers down my backbone

Tremors in my thigh bone

Arthritis in my neckbone

Aching All Over.
