Whats the Point

Power Point Presentation on Meditation was underway
Eyes, ears glued to central points, narrative was on
Suddenly someone sneezed, concentration frittered away 
Missed the Point, presentor thought, yet went on

Came in pointless sorry, presentation went ahead 
Breathing Techniques discussed, right postures shown
Suddenly someone farted, all noses squeezed 
Pointless, presentor thought, yet went on

Freshner sprayed, presentation commenced shortly    
Chakaras* highlighted, high points of each focussed on
Suddenly someone yawned, rest yawned contagiously 
Beyond the Point, presentor thought, yet went on

Tea break, visiting cards exchanged, presentation resumed 
Practicals ensued, all called on stage one by one
Suddenly someone trying meditation snored, all bemused
No Point, presentor thought, yet went on

Meditation Presentation ended with understanding fair  
All liked, vowed to religiously include in routine all lesson
Suddenly someone recalled he had `Amnesia'** during seminar
What's the Point, presentor thought, wrapped up presentation

(*) Chakaras -Eastern Tradition believes that Life force passes through 
seven primary CHAKRAS (points symbolised by BodyPart), 
each Chakra representing unique physical and psychic energy. 

(**)Amnesia - Partial or total loss of memory
