Yoga Classes

There once was a group of old men,
Who tried yoga to cherchez la femme.
They hoped to relax,
But just got stiff backs,
And decided it wasn’t for them.

hey, what is "cherchez" ? I think that is a vital word here! I love that last part. Maybe this is what would happen to me if I tried! Good luck in the contest.

LOL Funny limerick, Jack! If it's for the contest, I wish you success. Actually yogo eliminates back stiffness. I did take yoga classes and we left the classes feeling "better" than when we came in. The second line made my laugh out loud. These men need to find another way to "cherchez les femmes." Love, Carolyn

hehe, you took the witty approach with your entry Jack, I enjoyed this a lot. Good luck for Tahera's contest.. Ps: That "nose madness" is not for a contest, Nikko gives me body parts and then I write about them.. :) Just the two of us being mad I guess..
