Francine Roberts Poet Limerick

Who's the Pretzel

~~~Who's the Pretzel ?~~~


Off to  my first yoga class I went
After much money on outfit spent.
  Twisted into pretzel form.
  These positions not the norm.
I was designed for straight world, not bent.

Looked around to watch rest of the class.
Only view was of my own wide ass.
   All of my joints were popping
   So I think I'll be stopping.
Safer to just give yoga a pass.





for Tahera Mannan's 'Yoga' contest

Diane Locksley April 14, 2011 at 1:01 PM This is really funny Francine. I enjoy limericks and this one takes the cake. No yoga for me! Good luck in the contest, Diane

Carolyn Devonshire April 14, 2011 at 10:26 AM Hilarious, Francine!! (especially the "view" you saw) I took yoga classes, but I'm an acrobat/contortionist so none of the positions were hard for me. Thinking back, though, I do recall some sneers of contempt from classmates. Awesome entry for the contest and I hope to see your poem in the winners' circle. ("Weird Carolyn or "Pretzel Carolyn" are acceptable nicknames for me. LOL) Love, Carolyn
