Hi tiddley hi ti I'm all right
I needed a mai tai, keeps me tight
I'm a waking winky -- got a belly ache
I think a Bromo-Seltzer is what I'll take....

Hi
My name is Tai
I am a guy
And work as an spy
For Uruguay 

This is Mai
A samurai
She makes me cry
All because I identify
As an butterfly...

Am considerating signing up 
For a beginners class in Tai Chi but
Not sure it's for me
My old bones agree
The will is here but the bod needs a nudge...

E marino ana te tai
To mauri kaatoretore
Tukuna tou haukura kia rere
Hei whakaora i te hunga
He waahi hakoakoa
Rere ana to wairua whakamahu, he waahi muna, he korowai paataka kai....

Hubby decamped,
Kids gone,
House dilapidated,
Garden gone to seed,
She took-up Tai-chi.

Facing East,
A half veiled sun
Behind her,
She became a
Pictograph,
Crowned by
A golden rice bowl....

A form to set aside my width.
A polarization of a manifestation,
decent while the coils roll.
Now to de pleat any ways wrong
and Tai ensure a medium of tolerance.
This is the way to procure and to
defend the title of
a nest egg....

I know and this I have also been 
Told so I know and I think you don't 
Need an education to think so I say
TAI! Think about it!  And do remember 
This I have been thinking so I know. Think!
KNOWLEDGE  IS THE NEW COLLEGE!!
TAI!! DO TRY. GOOD BYE!!...

The darkness retreats as the sun rises.
Tai chi on the jetty, moving with grace.
Waves crashing when the tide comes in.
The spray splashes upon my body.
Deep breaths in and deep breaths out.
Embracing the energy of peace.
Connecting with my emotions.
Healing and renewing....

      Too many Mai Tais, zany Matilda, drank!

      Whoops, she hit the sea-wall and arrested for
      being tanked!

      A big flirt was she, and the Officer fell.

      Now a huge wedding is planned, do tell!

Everywhere I go, I see melting
Structures caressed by One love
Abides throughout internal time

Like tall trees playing tai chi
My star is back with purity unseen
When life's gyroscope finally
Passes through my ancient celtic screen

Problems of man see small
Amidst the mystery of all
Can at last breath and relax...

I want to master Tai Chi
Learn all the slow movements,
So that I can fight and win
In style.

I want to be the best meditater the world has ever seen
Transcend transcendence
Free my soul
So it can rise up and look down at yours.
	
I want to reach Nirvana,
But not stay,
Just long enough to write about it,
And finally get some recognition....

When I did the
hug-a-tree today,
I could feel my
breathing in my fingers
as the air
in my body moved my blood.

That Norwegian professor,
when I was 25,
told me that would happen.
One body, he told me,
like a fluid-filled bag,
like a decorative icing
squeezer.

Several times today
I could feel time stop
and I could feel the
gap between my fingers
tremble....

This is putting the spirit rum to good use.
Just mix it with a little pineapple juice.
Put it in a shaker with some cracked ice,
Shake it up, strain it into a glass, and it's nice.
For a extra touch, use a little garnish:
Add a pineapple spear and a cherry if you wish.
This is a great drink for either a gal or guy.
What we have here is called a Mai-Tai.

Today I practiced
tai-chi in front of a mirror
with a dozen beginners my age.
I didn't apologize
as I thought I might.
Strange
to pick out the
reflexively familiar.
Icon I,
seen from the outside.
Some of us
would have commanded
with angry eyes
if rumples were smoothed
but now we listen.
They lined up like this
in many old photographs of
unsymmetric faces
unceremonious bodies,
dignities clinginging to fact....

Mt Tai
How do I describe lofty Mt. Tai’s grandeurs?
Straddling Qi and Lu states, its green lingers.
The most gorgeous landscape the Nature has drawn,
The dark and light sides convert into dusk and dawn.
Floating clouds cleanse the mortal mind and soul;
Birds fly home in groups along the mount on a scroll.
I shall climb to the top and therefrom a bird-view will
Render all the other mountains around into small hill.

Red velvet grass emerging thru realms 
Looking for love & searching for self.
See everyone these days fall in love with a rose 
But as grass is liked last
Something grows from below... & within
Between moss and tai chi
It looks like a stem. 
You planted the seed . 
Beauty you have redeemed 
Transcendence occurred on the 21st of midnight' eve
Looks like our grass has a rose up its sleeve. 

No one teaches transcendence ... Or self love....
