Off Balance

There's a goal I can't achieve
It's become a true pet peeve
I find I don't have the talents
For asanas that take balance.

My Tree pose starts out standing tall
Then I start to sway and fall
My Tree must be in a storm
Oh what bad, sad yoga form!

When my Eagle tries to soar
I only end up on the floor
I really do give it my best
This Eagle should stay in the nest!

I know Dancer should be graceful
But I wind up with a face full
Of my dirty yoga mat
When my Dancer's pose goes splat!

Some day this goal I hope to meet
Get through a practice on my feet
Complete a balancing asana
Would be true yogic nirvana!
