If I should live to be





this age, without mishap,
 I may have had to upgrade my regimen,
in order to achieve this
quite remarkable degree of strength and flexibility.


Meanwhile perhaps I can improve my mental elasticity
by learning to recite this poem.

    I can however move my nostrils, does this count?

  8. I do love the range of comments for this post :)
    I cried at the beautiful video of the elderly woman and laughed at the little boy reciting verbatim a poem while he most likely wants to be doing other things!
