When I warm up on the mat
I do the cow, and then the cat.
My spine gets curved and then goes flat.
How to keep the cow, and add the cat?
Cow, you sacred beast with eyes
Large and lumbering, and yes, the flies.
Opportunistic is the cat
Who’s just around for treats and pats
Cow so giving, cat so rude
One give milk, one just eats food.
To find a balance, tit for tat.
How to keep the cow, and add the cat?
One or the other’s not the way
A bit of both, but not a grey
Black and white contrasting...how?
Flowing, like the symbol of the Tao.
So when I warm up on the mat
I do the cow, and then the cat
A little this, then more of that
I keep the cow and add the cat.
