You Can't Do Yoga On A Beanbag

Technology of all kinds is around us every day.

"The wonders of the modern world," our elders often say.

But behind all our advances, one simple thing will lag,

The art of doing yoga on a beanbag.

A wise man once told me that life was much too short,

For lengthy calculations of any kind or sort.

He said, "Keep your mind active, by playing mental tag,

While practising yoga on a beanbag."

Yoga is a way to keep healthy, it is true,

Providing mind and body with its benefits to you.

Yet despite all its attractions, there is just one snag,

You still can't do it on a beanbag.

Some wise guy in the Sixties wanted a new kind of chair

So totally hip and groovy for those who were not square.

Then late one night as his enthusiasm began to sag

Quite by accident he invented - the beanbag.

Beanbags are still with us, they will never go away

Through the Seventies and the Eighties they continued to stay.

Then a man in the Nineties, who was probably quite mad

Decided to try yoga on a beanbag.

So we can watch the News At Ten tomorrow afternoon at
three.

In the future, we can see today as history.

The hairstyles and fashions will no doubt make us gag,

But we still can't do yoga on a beanbag.
