Lose All Ego

My Guru stole my underwear! 
I don't remember when,
I don't remember where,
all I know for certain is
my Guru stole my underwear!

I practiced my mantra
for days and days
to reach a higher state.
what do I see when
I come down?
My Guru sneaking round
the corner, and 
I'd lost my underpants!

Ah yes, the meditative mode,
it takes an effort to achieve.
But, one day I did it, and
found my undershirt had
taken leave.

I grilled my Guru for hours.
I even left him flowers but 
he denied the shirt he was wearing
had anything to do with me.
And, of course we are taught
from birth,
that gurus don't deceive!

My Guru stole my underwear.
I don't remember when,
I don't remember where,
all I know for certain is
My guru stole my underwear!
