The seal, the seagull
The chick, the turtle
The monkey, the hamster
The keyhole, the vampire
The apple, the  screwdriver
The car, the middle finger
The bear, the ruler
The battleship cruiser
The umbrella, the scissors
The fox and praying mantis
The quarter note of music
The hydra and the mushroom
The hula hoop, the jellyfish
The zombie and the dolphin
The banana, the spider
The white tiger
The boomerang, the heart
The elephant, the hippo
Kung-fu and the butterfly
The dragon and the dragonfly
Levitation and the box
Finally, the question mark
With a hop to make the dot!

About the poem:
I taught yoga for the first time to my English classes in Samcheonpo, South Korea. At the end of class, I asked them to invent a new yoga pose. They instantly came up with dozens of new poses I’d never imagined! I appreciate ancient wisdom, but what the heck, wouldn’t this be a fun way to keep a yoga class from getting dull? So creative!
