There is a new form of divination
Better than tea leaves
All it takes
Is throwing a pair of overalls in the dryer
Then
In some strange form
Of cosmic morse code
Your destiny
Will be revealed.......

There is a new form of yoga
Yoga in denim
It's known far and wide
Take a deep breath, little prayer
Exhale, forward fold
Gorilla, preparation stance
Mountain pose, inhale
ZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
Now runners stretch
Sitting on ass
Spread eagle
Feet over head
The plow pose
And then,
Walk through life
Without gasping when you sit.
