Ode to Tuesday Morning (Abs Class)

Here is my (Jean’s) own work, a salute to Abs Class – (See Jean’s other poetry offering on Tao Te Ching)

Ode to Tuesday Morning
Jean Rupard

There is a yogi named Satyam,
Who makes me believe in who I am.

He leads me through asanas all week long,
The poses I know will keep me strong.
He challenges my limits, though (sometimes)
I’m counting the minutes,
I know will this will help me along.

But come Wednesday night,
When my abs are sore and tight,
I wish he would leave me alone!

Addendum: Here it should be noted that while getting ready to start class last Tuesday, Jean said to herself and aloud, “Alright, let’s get this over with!”
